As you may know by now, we are close to finishing our book, A New World Awakens - which is a collection of essays on Soul-centered living that we will publish soon.

There are so many things involved in bringing this book to the world: Things like reviewing what we've already developed, adding new information when it feels right, and looking into the different publishing options we have before us, just to name a few. Besides this, we are designing a workshop retreat that we would like to use in order to teach the material from this book.

Sounds like quite a bit of work, doesn't it? Well, it is. But we enjoy it very much!

This book has taken us through many different steps in the manifestation process. It has shown us very clearly how to create what we love, to share it with others, and to have a wonderful time doing it.

Even though there are moments when the whole process seems to take forever to complete, we are constantly reminded of how much joy we experience when we create something from a place of love.

Basic steps for creating a joyful experience

Here are the steps we use to create a joyful experience for ourselves.

We are assuming that you, like us, would like to experience more joy in the things
that you do. So, what is the very first thing you need to do – or allow – in order to invite more joy into your life?

1. First, you need to look at the essence of what brings you joy.

In our case, it is writing and communicating about Spirit as a way to have helpful and meaningful encounters with others. We just love to do this.

So what is it that brings YOU joy?

Can you sit still for a moment in a quiet space (let's say a minute or two) and feel into this? Spend some time breathing and relaxing, and then really feel it with your heart: What do you enjoy doing?

Don't worry if you can't see the details, yet. Just go for essence. Examine your feelings, first. Maybe you enjoy bringing peace to others, or perhaps your joy lies in sharing the lighter side of life with friends. After all, laughter is a wonderful gift to share.

2. Now that you've checked in with your heart about essence, gently ask yourself about some of the details. What are some of the ingredients that might accompany the experience of joy you've identified?

For us, it is not enough to enjoy writing and communicating. In order to derive the greatest pleasure from it, we like to have certain other things in place. For example, we enjoy writing about things that inspire us, and we like to feel that our readers are inspired, too. Reaching the right readers with an inspirational message really helps us feel grounded in our experience of joy.

So, what ingredients might help YOU feel grounded in the experience of joy that you seek?

What are some of the practical things you might include that would facilitate this experience? Feel them; don't analyze them too much. What do you see in your mind's eye when you connect with the essence of joy that you envision?

3. Now that you can imagine some of the details, see if you can connect the essence of joy that you desire to experience with the different ingredients that are important to you.

For us to make that connection, we need to write in a quiet and contemplative environment. There, we can listen to our Souls' guidance. It's in a place of peace that we can more easily receive the messages of inspiration that bring us joy, and feel the energies of the readers with whom we will share these messages. In this moment of quiet encounter, our creation really begins to emerge.

Can you sit down and listen to what your Soul is telling you now? How it would like to support you in connecting the essence of your joy with the important details?

To fine-tune your ability to receive guidance on this, it helps if you imagine yourself as part of a Grander Creation. Feel yourself expanding beyond your personal boundaries, and allow yourself to blend with the energies that come in to support you.

Can you feel that you are assisted in manifesting your Soul's desires? Can you give yourself permission to experience your deepest joy?

4. Now that you've identified the essence of your joy, and clarified some of the important details, you are ready to see your creation taking shape.

For us, the joy in writing begins to move from inspiration to reality in the first moment we see our words flowing across the paper, or appearing on the computer screen. This is real. Our thoughts and feelings have arrived in the world to join us, and they are deeply connected to our experience of joy. Our creation is starting to take shape - manifesting as an article, an essay, or even a book.

See if you can discover how your creation is manifesting even now? In what ways are the essence and details of your desires taking shape in front of your eyes?

Maybe it isn't looking exactly the way you imagined, or perhaps it isn't appearing as fast as you would like. But hey, you're doing it. You're watching the birth of your creation, and feeling the joy that this new life brings into your world. Can you enjoy this moment? Can you feel the excitement of giving birth to your desires?

5. Well, congratulations: You are realizing your desires! Now that you are, the next thing you might ask is, “What's next?”

Know that the creation process doesn't stop here. Instead, you will probably feel motivated to take care of your creations; to tend them, or maybe even to share them with the world. If not, perhaps it will be enough to enjoy them by yourself. There's certainly nothing wrong with that.

Whatever you decide to do next on your journey, remember the joy you've had. This is the basis of every creation. Start where the joy is, and then go with it!

Lots of love,

Alexandra and Dan

“Matters of the Heart” – A Jeshua, Saint-Germain, and Miriam Channel


By Alexandra Mahlimay and Dan Bennack
Cluj-Napoca, Romania
www.joyandclarity.com

If you would like to share this message with a friend, Click here.

The following channel is part of a reading that was requested by a client.

Dear friend, you’ve had a heart-attack, and the good news is that you are still here.

I am Yeshua, along with Saint-Germain, my dear friend, Miriam, and Alexandra and Dan. We’ve come to join you in a moment of silent reflection.

Beloved, there is nothing more to ponder. There is no “why me?” to it. The facts are that it happened, and you are here. This is all that matters. You are here because your experiences on Earth have not yet been completed. There is still more to come. Spirit has something in mind for you.

Please remember Who You Are. You are the voice and hands of God. You are here to help accomplish the Great Work. You ask us whether your time on Earth is done. Tell me, what do you feel?

After such an occurrence as yours, it is understandable to question whether your life has come to its natural end. Please know that you have reached a major turning point in your earthly sojourn, not an end to it.

A lifetime of experiences culminated for you when you had your heart attack. Now you find yourself at a crossroads, standing at the intersection of “what was, and what still could be”. Before continuing your journey, it is appropriate to consider which path you will take up. We ask you to be still for a moment and review this.

Standing at the Crossroads

First, my friend, consider that you’ve had a lifetime to recognize that you are loved by God – that you are a Child of God and loved in every moment of your very precious life. In the lifetime you have just completed, you have come to know this with certainty, and you have felt its uplifting and inspiring effects.

Secondly, you’ve had ample opportunity to listen to those around you – to feel the impact of their beliefs and to suffer from their distorted perceptions about love. You have observed how they judge you, themselves, and the world around them. How they crave, yet fail to recognize the Love of God that is there for all. You have come to know this with certainty, and you have felt its oppressive effects.

Here at the crossroads, you hold a lifetime of experiences in the balance. Now you can make a decision about them. You’ve experienced the truth of God’s Love, and the pain of its denial. You know that denial carries you downward in a spiral of fear, conflict, and strife, whereas affirmation and alignment enliven your spirits.

Since your experiences have led you to the certainty that only God’s Love is real and true, and everything else is false and unreal, your decision at the crossroads is clear. You can take up the path of joy and love, if you choose, and turn your back on the path of pain and suffering forever.

I ask you to look at your beliefs in the coming days, and release anything that no longer serves you on your New Path.

Your New Life Begins

Good friend, your heart is recovering from the pain and hurt of a lifetime. It will continue to do this, as you release your fear of being separated from God’s Love. This worry may still haunt you, and it is understandable, especially considering the trauma you have recently experienced. But this fear is not yours. It belongs to a world, and a life path, that you have left behind. Your passage in joy is assured, if you allow it. Remember this, and it will free you from the dominion of fear.

In the days of recovery that lie before you, remind yourself daily of the truth about love. This will take you into a higher, more refined awareness. Here you will perceive yourself correctly – as the perfect, and perfectly unique embodiment of God’s Love That You Are.

This true perception will bring an even greater flow of life force into your cells. It will revive your body, mind, and emotions, and help you move into the next phase of your life; because indeed, there is New Life for you here.

Cherished one, you will be of great service to God, humanity, and your ideals. We know that you have a great desire to realize a vision of peace, love, and universal brotherhood – to be in service to these grand ideals. You will receive new assignments from your Soul about this soon. But for now, I encourage you to bear witness to the miracle of your life, and allow this knowledge to revitalize you.

Your New Life begins now. Allow this to be so, and so it shall be.
