Message Series: The Flames that Change Everything – Part 8 – Flame of Resilience

A Transmission from the Ancient Grandmothers
~ Third Flame in the Fourfold Teaching: “The Flame That Changes Everything” ~

“You have come through fire, and still you rise.”

We are the Grandmothers who sat by the coals when others fled the storm.
We have known loss.
We have known hunger and silence.
We have buried our children and still sung to the moon.

We speak now of Resilience, not as survival alone,
but as the return of Life after sorrow.
Resilience is not hardness. It is flexibility held in love.
It is when you bend and do not break.
It is when your tears fall into the soil and grow medicine.

🌾 Resilience Is in Your Bones

You are here today because your ancestors chose life.
They walked through grief and sang anyway.
They carried sacred seeds across oceans, through deserts,
hidden in hair, stitched in hems, tucked beneath tongues.

You are the blooming of their prayers.

So when you feel weak, remember—
their strength walks with you.

And when you rise after falling,
you are adding to the River of Resilience
that carries the future forward.

🐻 The Story: The Girl and the Hollow Tree

There was once a girl who was shamed for crying too much.
So she hid her tears.
One day, a great sadness came, and she ran into the woods.
There, she found a hollow tree and climbed inside.
She cried until she slept.
When she woke, moss covered her.
The tree had held her.
And when she returned to the village,
she was never afraid to feel again—
for she knew the Earth could hold sorrow and still remain green.

🌼 The Act: The Rooted Breath

When fear or pain comes,
sit or stand with your feet on the ground.
Place your hands on your lower belly and say:

“I am still here.
I am still breathing.
My roots go deep.
My branches will rise again.”

Repeat until the storm within settles.

You do not have to be perfect.
You just have to keep loving.

🌲 The Sacred Truth:

“You are made of stories that did not end in silence.”

Invocation of the Grandmothers’ Flame of Resilience

Grandmothers of Bark and Bone,
Teach me to stand when winds have blown.
Let me root and let me sway,
Let me feel and still not fray.
Make my tears a healing stream,
That I may rise and dream the dream.

When you feel stressed or panicked, you can hug a tree or sit with you back resting against it and it will take away the panic and stress and bring you peace. It takes the energy into the Earth to be transformed and used to help nature.

Navigating the Challenges of Empathy

Just when I think I have it the energies and emotions of the world coming at me under control, another image of an abused or dying animal pops up. Perhaps it is the image of a homeless or the tragedy of people who have lost their homes to a natural disaster.

There is so much pain and suffering in the world. The life of empaths are hard, because we feel the pain of others. It requires a lot of effort to stay in compassion for others without allowing the energies of pain they feel to come flooding into us.

Some may think this makes us weak, and yet I would rather be able to have empathy for the pain and suffering for it keeps me aware of where energy is needed to help lift the lower energies, rather than be so focused on myself, that I judge the pain and suffering of others as not being worthy of my compassion.

It is a delicate balance that requires mindfulness to see others in need, care about them and not get caught up in the emotional turmoil they are experiencing and the pain. It is about learning to connect to our higher self, and the higher perspective to see what is the best way to help in this situation.

When we are living in heart and mind coherence, it means that our soul which connects through our higher heart to guide us can send us the highest possible actions and solutions in any situation. Then we can see what needs to be done on the physical level to complete that process.

Compassion and inner guidance of a higher perspective are the key to mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically staying in balance and acting from this place instead of reacting to the emotions or energies of the situation. It is a process and requires us to take responsibility for our thoughts, words and deeds. It requires us to learn to move into our heart to seek the highest solution to any challenge. From here the Universe can work through us for the greatest good of all life.

Empathy is a wonderful gift in making us aware that someone or something around us is out of balance and in need of help. Then we can go into our heart, connect with them from a higher soul perspective to give the care and service that will best help them in this situation. Whether this is a person or an animal, it is not good to act from an emotional level of pain and turmoil. Once you feel it move up and in and you will find the greater part.

I hope this helps some of the empaths, who are having a hard time right now. I know it isn’t always an easy gift to handle, but it is a gift to help you to be of service in this world. You are loved, and you are needed, in this world of hatred, anger. judgment and violence, don’t let them take away your joy in living and connecting with others.

Quan Yin the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion: ‘Compassion Dear Ones is about recognizing that we are all part of the same whole. Each person is living and acting in accordance to that which they know and believe to be true. If one is aware that what they are doing is not of the highest choice, they will seek to act accordingly. Forgiveness, begins within you. Another cannot hurt you unless you allow them to do so. The pain you experience from their words or actions are your reaction to them based on your beliefs and fears. See them as a mirror, reflecting that which is within you still that reacts and needs to be released. Then choose to do so. Forgive yourself for reacting, and forgive them for their actions so that you can be free. Have compassion for them as they are like yourself journeying upon their path, and you must allow them as you want to be allowed to do so along your path. Release any old feelings of hurt and resentment and know that when you are free, what another says and does can no longer hurt you for there is nothing within you to react. Then you will find they stop trying. As to the pain of war, neglect, violence and abuse, it is not something that you alone can correct in the world. You can only do your part by helping to ease the pain and suffering of ones when you are aware, without judging them or the situation. You can send the light and protection of the higher realms to be in the situation to help ease the energies, transform and lift them up. When enough people do the same, a great transformation can occur. We are not responsible for the actions of another, only for our actions and reactions. You are aware as an empath of the pain of others in order to be of Service. However, you cannot serve when you go down to the level of pain they are experiencing, you must bring in a higher love, compassion and understanding in a balanced state to help them to ease their pain mentally, emotionally, and physically. Do what you can, when you are made aware, from this place of love within you. I Am Quan Yin

The I AM Presence and the Shadow

Understanding who we truly are and from where the shadow emerges.

I AM THAT I AM

This name of the Creator was unspoken for generations. Why, I am not sure. What I do know is that in not speaking and understanding this Name we became limited and controlled.

I AM a part of the Creator. The Crator began creation by stating I AM, and thus brining the infinite energy of potential into a conscious patter of creation. I AM are the defining words of the Creator. From I AM came forth all that we see and know to exist. I AM , me the person in this form, because I AM created me. Thus I AM that I AM. I AM an extension of the Creator Source, like a cell within our body.

The Creator I AM decided to expand and create myriad forms through which to experience differing typse of existence. Many souls were brought into Being of which I AM one and so are you. I can exist as an individual when desired or return to the Oneness from which I came, a part of the Universal Mind and Infinite possibilities. I can express,experience and create in a single world or multiple worlds at the same time.

It is difficult in the dense energies of Earth with its many veils of illusion and forgetfulness to fully understand the concept of Oneness beyond an informational level. We are so trapped within the energies of the form, and the beliefs of the systems in which we live, that although one might say I Am a child of the creator. It is said in a way in which they have come forth as a baby does from the mother into an individual form, a separate being.

The word shadow can be defined as a lesser or vestigial form, a shaded or reflected image cast when a body comes between the light and another object, an imitation of the original or a source of gloom and unhappiness. To fully understand who we are a part of the Creator experiencing a physical existence, it must come from an emotional, heartfelt energy that allows us to let go of the physical boundaries of form and thought form. Only then can we truly feel, manifest and BE the Wisdom and Truth that we are ONE with ALL LIFE and the Creator. I AM like a cell, or drop of water within the sea of Universal Mind and Oneness, expressing in this for as I AM.

What can we do to remove the blockages that keep us from remembering and Being, I AM. There are many aspects of the process of remembering and being free which is termed Enlightenment or Ascension. For many one of the biggest blockages comes in the form of what many term the Shadow Self.

What is the Shadow and what do we do?

Some religions teach their followers to fear the Creator. There teachings say that the Creator punishes those who are bad. They say that we are all sinners and so we must appease the Creator in order for the Creator to love us and forgive us. This is similar to how many parents train their children to behave and believe in a certain manner. It is called the rewards and punishment system. In this system we learn to get what we want by saying and doing what the person in authority wants so that we will not be punished. This coupled with the belief in a punishing Creator, causes many to try to hide that which they think they have done wrong, or is different than their religious belief system in fear of going to Hell a place of eternal punishment.

So we try to hide these actions and feelings, hoping that the Creator wasn’t paying attention because after all there are so many people, perhaps what I did wasn’t noticed. I feel bad, so I will put my feelings and thoughts about the situation, words or actions in a box. We create a shadow. Many speak of the shadow and shadow work as something horrible to face, because the shadow is evil. The shadow is not evil, it is but those parts of ourselves that we have put away from the light. We stand between them and the light in order for them not to be seen by the Light/Creator, and hopefully we can forget them and not be judged or punished.

However, when we move along our Ascension path to Enlightenment, we come to realize that I AM a part of the Creator and thus the Creator already knows what I did and has forgiven me. Why would the Creator forgive me. Do I not have to be punished? The Creator gave us the right to choose what we do. However, with each choice it must be in a balanced manner that does not harm another, and if we make an unbalanced choice at some point in our existence it needs to be faced and balanced before returning to Conscious Oneness along the Ascension path. The Creator has forgiven us and is trying to help us to balance out the energy we created, by sending energy of love and forgiveness, and Beings of Light who await our call to help us to feel secure enough to face the shadow.

Perhaps if you think of the shadow like we do the Inner Child. Someone who has fear, pain and hurt created by their experiences which have been locked away behind a wall. This wall prevents us from fully, living, loving, forgiving ourselves and others. This hinders our experiencing and expressing who we truly are as a part of the Creator, who came to Earth to experience the joy of Life and Creation. Just like the Inner Child who needs understanding and love to quit punishing, and condemning ourselves for not living up to the expectations of others, so the shadow needs us to take down the walls and to look at the hurt within us. It may be from this lifetime or others, but the walls allowed us to function in society without crawling into a ball of self hatred and fear.

You may think,but I don’t have a shadow self and perhaps that is true. Perhaps you have inner child issues, or a blocked heart that keeps you from loving self or others. Sometimes, we are just not ready to look at the shadow. It may seem scary to open it up for it may be like Pandora’s box. Pandora’s box was full of all the sorry, hurt and pain in the world. Pandora was to keep it guarded and closed so that people could function and enjoy life. When it was accidently opened, they came to find out at the bottom of the box there was HOPE. Hope is what keeps us moving forward despite the pain, fear and despair in the world.

The Shadow is like Pandora and holds those emotions which we don’t want to face. However, remember there is hope. The Creator knows all about them, and who do we truly care about knowing and loving us more than our Creator. So if our Creator knows, allowed and forgave us, and even is sending us energy and Beings to help. Why not be hopeful and open the box.

You don’t have to swing wide the lid all at once. Sit down quietly and ask the Creator and Archangel Michael, the Protector Archangel and your own guardian Angel to protect you from any negative energies. Call forth the Gold, Silver and Violet Flame of Transmutation to clear the energies in and around you. Call upon the Golden White Light of Love to fill you and surround you.

The shadow is a part of you that wants to be loved, forgiven, embraced, healed and transformed back to light. Like you to the Creator it no longer wants to be separate from you. Ask the Creator to send help that you may open the box bringing Light and Love to the Shadow and look at one piece at a time. Just do one during this quiet time. Remember, it is not hidden from anyone, only put aside by you until you were ready to look at it and balance the energy so it can once again become part of you.

Look at what it is, a thought against another, an action you took that hurt another, a word you spoke in anger that hurt another. Perhaps it was something someone said about you, that you were ugly, fat, stupid and it hurt so much you couldn’t face it. Perhaps, you were a bit over weight and lost pounds, but never forgot , or you gained more from despair and self doubt. Look at whatever this one aspect is. Where did it originate? Was your reaction a part of your belief system and how you were taught by others to react? As a par tof the Creator, remember you are loved, worthy and each step of your path was a part of learning and becoming a more loving, forgiving and compassionate Being? For example does your weight define whether or not you are a loving and giving part of God? What reactions came as a result of the original event? Can you see it from a higher perspective and let go of the misqualified energies it created? Can you embrace that part of yourself, forgive yourself and all others involved? Can you move forward knowing this was but a step along a journey of Becoming, and once you understand the event and how to better move through such an event with loving understanding , you will never face it again, for you are I AM, a part of the Creator.

Once you have looked at this, once again bring in the Gold, SIlve and Violet Flame of Transmuation to clear the energies and return them to source. Surround yourself with Golden White Light again and ask that any cords, agreement or contracts involved with the situation be cut or terminated without karmic repercussions.

Give yourself a few days of self care before attempting another clearing, but as you look at these you will find yourself speaking to a friend who has carried a heavy burden for you, and now you are helping them and yourself to be free. There is nothing to fear or be ashamed for the Light of I AM is all that Is.

One day you will find that you and the Shadow are One and there is only the Light of I AM.

Blessings

The pain of being empathic.

Today when I checked out facebook there was one post about empaths which said it perfectly. It had an image of Johnny Depp as the pirate running away from people and the caption was something about, ” Why was I born into this world?” and the next image was him running back,” I was born to help others and to bring light into the world.”

It is really hard to be empathic, for you feel the pain of others so srongly. Man’s inhumanity to man, nature, and animals. It can be so overwhelming sometimes, that we do want to run away and either leave th earth or move into a retreat somewhere far from other people. Yet, we also feel the strong calling of our soul and the work that we agreed to do to help others to be free of the control of negative mass consciousness and the ego.

I see images of animals having been abused and abandoned. Wars and the horrible ramifications upon the innocent humans and animals, and my heart breaks. I see people threatening each other over political issues. I work daily to send love and light into the world and at times it feels as if it has no impact, yet I know it is helping for light always transforms the darkness.

I cannot make the choice for another to let go of the dark thoughts of separation, judgment, pain, fear and hurt, but I can send the light and Violet Flame to surround them and clear the energies along their path, so that they have a chance of feeling the light, asking it in and making a choice to live from a higher more loving perspective. So, in those moments when the pain of feeling others hurt and wanting to run away. I turn back and send the Light in hopes that someone out there will be able to break free.

We can all do this and that is why we came here. We came to free not just ourselves but humanity so the world can be transformed. If each day we would just take a few minutes less than 5 and ask that Archangel Zadkiel would bring the Violet Flame into our life and set us free, and to bring it through us into the earth, the water, the air and any situation, location or around any person in need, so that all can be free. It will make a difference.

Thank you for listening. Don’t make political choices more important than the lives of animals, people and all living things on Earth.
