Welcome to August and the 73rd issue of Nourish. For six years, this magazine has been my constant companion. It has inspired me and haunted me if I am sincere. I have had the honour and privilege to work along side some remarkable people to bring together the wisdom that lands in these pages each month.

There have been many changes as we have grown, the inaugural issue was 16 pages which was pulled together by myself reaching out to a few friends. At that point, we were unique in that we published on the full moon date. A year later Nourish had 18 contributors and filled 50 pages with shared wisdom and love. During the past six years, 50 different authors have graced our pages. Each has freely given their time, grace, and wisdom so that each of us could glean kernels of support as we walked our unique journey through life. I feel so blessed to have been at the helm of this great endeavor. It has not always been an easy task, deadlines and life don't always mix, but the parts that were less than stellar have taught me some valuable lessons. Now Nourish is going to evolve again. This will be the last issue in the current format. It is a sad decision for me to come to, one that I have been struggling with for some time. However, the world is changing, the way people access information is changing and not to stay current would be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. I am not sure what Nourish will look like moving forward. However, I am trusting the divine guidance I receive and will see where it takes me. That is how Nourish got started, after all, the gang told me to do a magazine. To all of our readers who have supported us unwaveringly through all the changes thus far, THANK YOU! You mean the world to me and without you Nourish would not have lasted as long as it has. Enjoy flipping through the pages this month, and poke around our website, all of the past issues are posted, filled with wisdom and love, ready for you to flip through again and again. Stay tuned for Nourish has not faded just shifting and morphing into something brand new!

Namaste

To my way of seeing transitions in life, there are three types or categories, the natural transitions, the transitions unwillingly imposed upon us, and that the ones that we initiate for our betterment. In our life time, we will go through many, some will be lighthearted, others will be disconcerting, and still others will push us to our very limits. A natural transition is one that sees us moving onto the next phase in life, such as, birthdays, graduating from elementary to high school, to university, etc. Unwillingly imposed upon us transitions can be changes that we don't see coming, loss of a job, divorce, death of a loved one, and loss of personal belongings (with the wildfires in our province right now, the loss of homes, etc.). Transitions we initiate include getting married, having a baby, new homes, and career changes. Of course, any of the examples given above can be seen in any of the categories depending on how you feel about them. Any transition in our lives can leave us feeling anxious. In fact, during any change in our life, we can run a whole gambit of emotions, often in the space of a minute. Transitions can be exhausting, draining us not only on an emotional level but a mental and physical level as well. Like I said, transitions are a part of our lives, ready or not. Whatever the circumstances, navigating them can be difficult, so how can we best survive and thrive during these times? First off, expect that you are going to be feeling many emotions, and chances are others around you will be feeling those same feelings. Most transitions pull us out of our comfort zones, which allows our imaginations to run wild. It is natural to worry about our future and be uncertain. Be gentle with yourself and others. Even if you initiated the change, chances are you are going to be thrown for a loop. Whenever we are leaving something behind we experience a period of grief. Accept whatever you are experiencing emotionally as a natural progression to seeing you through this phase. By accepting what is, you open to gracefully moving forward. Don't get hung up on the past. You must acknowledge your loss, but pining for what can no longer be is not going to help you. The adage "when one door closes, another one opens" can be helpful to remind you that while we don't always know why something is happening it can often lead to better things. My personal favourite is knowing that when space is freed up in my life, something always comes along to fill it. Look at it as an opportunity. Look for the silver lining. You might not be able to see it right away but if you stay confident, something will show itself. Even in your darkest 7

moments, and please don't try to shove them under some proverbial rug, try to see something positive. Get support. Don't try to go it on your own. Even though you probably feel like being a hermit, allow others to help you. Support can be a friendly ear, a hug, shared laughter, and even a different opinion. Chances are they have gone through something similar and know what you are experiencing. Realize that transitions can happen quickly, or they can take time, but no matter what, they will conclude. Then, when it is all said and done, you might feel empty. Life can seem suspended, with a "now what" feeling that has no immediate answers. Part of this emptiness is attributed to putting all our eggs in one basket; we don't see past "the event", we focus solely on what is happening. It is common to have a period of "floating," as our adrenaline levels come back to normal. It bothers us to have this sense of emptiness as we are active beings, we feel best when we have something to be doing. Something to work towards, call it an innate need to be vigorously pursuing a goal. However, the quiet after the storm is just what we need between transitions. Use this period as a time of relaxation that prepares you for whatever reveals itself next. In life, all comfort zones eventually come to an end as we evolve more and more into our true selves. Life in general never allows you to get too comfortable. Just when you think you have it figured out, along comes something that challenges your thoughts, beliefs and actions. If we learn to channel our anxiety around change into productive energy, it will help propel us into the next stage of growth and discovery. It requires that we trust in our abilities and capabilities to handle whatever life serves us so that we give into rather than fight the transitions. Transitions usually bring about a positive change in our life. We might take years to understand why something happened. However, in life, everything is connected. One step leads to the next, and with each step we become our best selves. Next time you feel the anxiety of change about to control your life, pause, take a deep breath, and know within your heart this too shall pass and you will come out the other side better and stronger than you are right now!

In the great rush towards enlightenment, we might find ourselves running like lemmings away from an important aspect of our groundedness. In searching for the high of the “bliss state” we may be negating an important aspect of our wholeness. There is a profoundly significant difference between eliminating suffering and transforming suffering. We do not embrace spiritual practice to avoid pain, but rather to raise all of the aspects of our humanness to a new level of understanding. We do it not to eliminate aspects of our being, but to expand our awareness and acceptance of all that we are.

In detachment, we can be like the light, bringing objectivity and clarity to situations. When we remain attached, then we move into the dark side, creating shadows which may block awareness. We seem literally to stumble around creating more and more difficulties. Our responses may become more primitive. Often attachment has been a lifetime pattern, whether conscious or unconscious. Like the dark side of the moon, there may be much that has been unexplored in those shadows. Indeed, there is often a fear around truly being alone with ourselves. The irony is that when we connect deeply with ourselves, we no longer feel alone. When we can validate our own essence, we do not need to feel hurt or abandoned by others.

Ignoring our dark side in our enthusiasm for ‘the light’ is a little like spraying a new, shiny coat of paint on top of the rust. It looks good for a while, but soon the rust shows up again. We do not have to negate our humanness in order to be evolved. Rather, evolution occurs through the full experience and understanding of each stage in our expanding awareness. We must go fully into our experiences, for within them lie the raw materials, the richness of our unfolding consciousness.

It is the light of the love we hold for ourselves that banishes the lingering darkness within. That darkness marks the places we have kept out of the range of our own compassion. To turn our backs on ourselves, while lifting our faces to an external source of light, may feel uplifting at first. No matter how radiant that path, or how dutifully we follow it, there remains inside a nagging feeling that something is just not right.

Books, tapes and lectures may provide illumination and open new pathways, but the true pathway to enlightenment is the one that weaves in and out between our inner perceptions and the outer world. It is unique for each of us. It is found on the cusp between personal perception and universal intelligence.

There remains a gap between the fulfillment we want to feel, and the inner emptiness in which our thoughts echo with a strange hollowness. Deep and true fulfillment comes only when we have a profound sense of home, that is based securely in our own hearts. When we have this true alignment with our inner essence, letting go of everything else, there comes the paradoxical instant in which we realize we have it all. We have neither eliminated nor excluded anything, and yet all seems transformed. We let go and we gain. We release and embrace. There is darkness and there is light. All in divine order.

How much more alive and precious is the rose that is experienced through the prism through which divine intelligence is transformed into its many hues. To block any of our thoughts, feelings or perceptions because we judge them to be unenlightened is to block off part of the prism. Certainly, we do not need to act on impulses that seem to come from a lower level of our consciousness. Examining them; holding them up to the light of compassion, may reveal some sparkling insights. Perhaps they are those aspects of self that have remained, like carbon, under tremendous pressure throughout our lifetime. It may be that truly understanding and healing those aspects propels us forward, as a species, much more than increased technological awareness. The farther away we are from the stuff of life, such as personal relationships, the easier it is to hold a clear vision. There are simply lots of things that monks in monasteries just do not encounter. The more involved we are with others, the more challenging it is to listen to the whisperings of our own soul, and to honour those. Always, it seems, we are striving for balance. A more peaceful state begins to develop when we realize that everything outside of us is only the scenery, or the context, in which our growth unfolds. Understanding this allows us to maintain a state of detachment in which we release any need or desire to control individuals or situations.

We, every single one of us, is a complex puzzle made of things we know about our self and things that we choose to leave unexplored; for a variety of reasons. I have always found the workings of my ‘shadow' side and the interplay of the many 'aspects' of what defined me ( and others) to be fascinating. Through many years I have explored and often ignored the inner workings of my mind because sometimes life and living it means you put yourself in to 'automatic mode'. And, as a woman and an emphatic healer, putting my needs last is quite simply a given.

you are about to do a certain activity or action.

I am blessed that I have come to a time in my life where I can choose to become MINDFUL of who I am, what I wish to achieve and to pay attention and reprogram the aspects of myself that are blocking me. Mindfulness is key to creating change. Self-exploring whether alone or through a practitioner is a starting place.

We can not change what we don't see or acknowledge. This is true in all situations but is a triple whammy when it is within us because human nature often means we switch to both ignoring our demons or we choose not to do any thing about them.

I am a strong willed and stubborn woman, so even though I have done years of selfwork I have also become UN-mindful of what my body and soul needed as life interfered. It was easier to ignore or to shut down, OR give in to the aspects (personality parts) of me without thought. In my case, this has manifested with me carrying around more weight than is healthy for me. On my current inner journey, I have chosen to be wise and to seek the help of a trusted clinical hypnotherapist to aid me in getting in touch with those parts of my mind that are blocking me from obtaining my goals.

Learning, for me, means that I am EMPOWERING myself. I am giving myself information that allows me to have a new understanding and often tools at my disposal to become a better version of myself. I often say to my students “ You can not change what you do not know or understand” and taking the time to connect with yourself is a vital key. Becoming MINDFUL means allowing yourself to be present in your life. To stop before you act and to be aware of why

Teaching yourself to STOP is a key point. It does not require effort as much as it requires a dedication to having put the thought into your mind before hand to actually “stop” and create a new habit for yourself. To pay attention and to listen to those wonderful parts of your personality that can be 'heard' within your body or mind. And to get into a comfort of actually having a silent dialogue with yourself.

If you are on a continual roller-coaster of emotional ups and downs and you want to get off and create balance for yourself, then taking the time for a journey of inner discovery is the key to obtaining that goal. There is a multitude of resources available for you to seek out and find one or more than you resonate too. I would strongly recommend Debbie Ford's book “ The Dark Side of the Light Chases.” May wisdom of true insight wash over and through you May you emerge with the power of understanding The beauty and grace that is the Completeness of YOU.

JULY REVIEW July had the focus of Integrating Time. It is part of this Year of The Empowered Sovereign as we move into a new spiral of empowerment that supports the Ascension of humanity into a more connected and conscious species. Understanding your power with time is

about mastering fourth dimensional expression (a subset of fourth density). Areon, the Lyran Council of Time, say that time responds to us and through us. There are physical laws and subtle laws that affect us. The physical laws are what we see as the “immutable” effect of time. For example hours/days/seasons – the effect of movement around the sun. Your subtle realm is your inner realm. Your subtle 14

bridge—how you connect directly with the subtle realm—is your thoughts and emotions. Your subtle bridge responds and interacts with the field of life, invisibly creating the future. Because it is subtle, it is mutable, but it cannot be controlled and manipulated like the realm of form. Your present moment has the past and the future in it, so being fully present and empowered flows your energy strongly www.nourishpublication.com

into your moment. Things like fear, drama and chaos can take one out of their power, out of their present moment. This is the difference between awake and asleep, empowered or disempowered. When you anchor in your present, you are able to connect more consciously and clearly with your subtle bridge. The real work is always your inner work. It’s what determines how you utilize and respond to the outer experiences like eclipses, influxes, downloads, gateways… And we’ve got some doozies coming up. Time to surf! AUGUST ENERGIES August is a powerful time each year as the Leo energy blazes us into a fiery new phase. I hope you all have a Leo you love in your life—they are magical. Mostly. Like all signs. ;o) We’ve got some really cool astrology in these times with a black moon in Leo, an eclipse series traipsing across the United States.

As I finished the last word of the video, I heard a screech. It was hawk. Hawks don’t screech continuously (except when they’re young), so it was special to hear. Hawk’s message is “Visionary Power and Guardianship.” “It holds the keys to higher levels of consciousness. It awakens our vision and inspires us to a creative life purpose.” Wow! What a perfect message from the animal kingdom! Both animal messages excerpted from Animal Speak by Ted Andrews. The “meek inheriting the Earth” (those strong enough within to operate from compassion and balance rather than dominating due to fear) begins in this way. The compassionate ones roar their silent Love into the ethers. They participate in structures that are out of balance in a conscious and balanced way and they change them from within, as well as with their powerful focus of Love. Ignite your soul in August! Ignite the August Eclipses

The Ascension energies I was shown was a light zooming all over the earth and touching down for a second in places, gathering momentum with other lights, splitting off, gathering new momentum. During this vision I heard, "Ignite Your Soul." This is a time of powerful focus into your energy of what you want to create in your future. Areon has been preachin’ for a while about “get YOUR energy into the world.” You are Life, you have a powerful spark of creation within. Use your focus to pray for humanity’s future, you get a vote! From your desires, your actions will be inspired as you participate with your moments from that clarity of what you want. August amplifies that. Animal Assistance When we were filming the August energies, we had two animal messages. The first was dragonfly. It circled over or near where we were filming the entire time. Dragonfly’s message is “The Power of Light.” “Use the creative imagination as a force within your life. Dragonfly brings the brightness of transformation and the wonder of colorful new vision.”

Eclipses offer us a reset of energy. They are potent focusers of two powerful energies for us, the sun and the moon. The two opposites that lead us through day and night such that we connect with the outer and the inner, honoring the full breadth of the dual engine of life as we create. Eclipses occur in pairs of opposite signs. The lunar eclipse on August 7 is in Aquarius. The solar eclipse on August 21 is in Leo. I was shown two aspects of the eclipse to share. It bisects the USA in a diagonal line, cutting it in two. Separation is the physical realm. It’s a fact of experiencing this reality, though only part of the story. Separation serves evolution as it gives a new perspective. From a new perspective, you have the option of a new choice. Areon has been saying since mid-2016 that we would start seeing more polarization between people. It’s not brand new, but I’d say we’re seeing more of it. Sometimes things have to get really obvious and uncomfortable for people to change. (When you pay attention to the subtle clues of life, you don’t always need to learn through obvious extremes) The eclipse enters the US landmass in Oregon, a state that is currently rather 15

progressive. It exits through South Carolina which has a history of slavery. I was shown “in with the new, out with the old.” Remember, these are generalizations, which can show you a pattern, but it doesn’t just completely apply. It is not to say that Oregon has a perfect history, or the people currently in SC reflect that history (I grew up there and I know many powerful Lightworkers that live there!). Take the overall generalization (or leave it), but don’t read too much into it. "In with the new, out with the old." Build the future, learn from the past. Lightworker, what kind of future do you want to see for humanity? All Life being honored equally? Don’t worry about the how or when, focus on it! The how and when as it applies to you will surface in your heart and mind and inspire you into creation. Do you see a huge clue? In with the new first. Hasn’t this been what we’ve been working on as we learn to use our thoughts and emotions positively? Yes, of course sometimes it’s out with the old first in the physical world. But even that begins with a desire. We recognize our desire for peace, love and abundant flow for All Life, then readjust to create that—getting rid of beliefs, habits and physical things that hold us back from that. In with the new. It’s in you. Live it, breathe it into your world. Be it. Renew your focus on what you want to create. Start within. We have more support for this than it seems. The Light Language transmission surprised me with this. Ignite YOUR Soul in August. Spend some time each morning to focus on your desires for the future, yours and humanity’s future. This is your time, Lightworker. Be present and gift the future with your Love. These are the times we've been preparing for. Powerful times, indeed.

KRYON

www.nourishpublication.com

Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. I've come to this room many times, so some of you are used to the channelling. Others tolerate it, and others are in the dark about the whole idea. Dear ones, this is a time of reflection. It's a time of compassion, understanding and tolerance. This is actually a scientific meeting filled with spirituality and esotericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s. Indeed, they do go together. There's something here for everyone, since the study of science is the study of how the creative source (God) created all the profound systems you are studying. I'm going to offer you a subject today called The Five Alignments. What are you aligning with right now as you sit in the chairs? As you ponder all the things that you have seen in the last three days, what ideas or energies do you align with? The Five Alignments Alignment One. What is your alignment with the others who you have met? Is there an alignment at all? Do you feel something that might be unusual here, that is perhaps beyond just being "social"? Perhaps this is your first time to a meeting that is this esoteric? In the last days, some of you have met those who you feel you have met before. Some of you feel they have the attributes of being family! Some of you have not journeyed beyond yourself, so you don't know what I'm speaking of. However, many have. I would like to tell you what often happens, dear ones, when old souls intermix in meetings and excursions like this. Perhaps you've heard of The Field? We're in a good place to talk about the physics of it, but I'm not going to since it has already been discussed by the scientists. The Field allows for synchronicities and harmonies and benevolent energies to occur that you could never plan by yourself. It almost feels like an invitation - an invitation to see and feel things that you would never feel or see in a meeting that was not like this. The Field has always been here, but its effect and power has increased dramatically since 2012. An alignment is not a friendship. Rather, it's a meld. The best way to align with another person is through compassionate action. You've heard the teaching from me many times that states that togetherness often creates a resonance, a confluence of energies that resounds one with another. That's alignment. Did you know that you could instantly have an alignment with

everyone in the room? It totally depends on what happens with all of you. Perhaps there would be a commonality of thinking, or the realization of God inside. That would create an alignment. Perhaps it would be a compassionate event? That would do it also. Dear one, the meeting series started for all of you here with an unexpected event. It was the collapse of a soul here. She fell into the aisle right in front of my partner while he presented, and she needed immediate medical attention. There were two reasons for it, dear ones. One was to melt your heart and to put you in a coherence that was harmonious with her. Instantly the meditators in the room went into a meditative state, projecting healing and peace and benevolence. The second reason it happened was for her personal healing. If she's going to collapse with an issue, there is no better place than here! That is how the meetings started here in Switzerland; the first channel, the first time that I came in with my partner in this series, there was an emergency among you. That created an alignment and all of you felt it. Now here is the question: Can you align without an emergency? Can you see the God in every single one of the people around you? You don't even speak the same language, but it really doesn't matter. I wish to return to that moment three days ago, when your hearts were melted, and when you were with that soul as she laid helpless in the aisle - and you sent her peace and poured into her the compassion of the group. You had a common goal. That is alignment, not friendship. That lets two individuals who have never seen each other stand and hug one another because they just experienced the same common compassion together. The goal, however, is to do it automatically without an emergency. Alignment Two. What is your alignment with nature? When my partner started this tour [speaking of the tour of 44 days that he is on], he was in a majestic place. It was a quiet place in the desert called Monument Valley. There was such a profound and unusual silence that you could feel it and sense it. There was a unity to the land because the indigenous of the area and their ancestors had practiced honoring the land for eons. They loved the land; they aligned with the land, and that's how the tour began. The land was 17

"speaking" to the group through the silence and the honoring that had been placed there. As he went on to Europe, he continued the alliance, teaching in Ireland where the land actually comes alive. So much grows there, and there is so much life that pours out of the ground that the tradition and the mythology of the public is often the ability to see the little people. That is because the land is multidimensional - something we have spoken of before. It's an alliance with the earth between Humans and the energy of the planet. What is your alliance with the land? Can you align with nature? There are those who have said, "Well, I would like to do that! However, I work in the city. I'm in an office and I come and go." Others have said, "I don't work at all, but it's difficult to get out of town." Dear ones, getting out of town has nothing to do with it. When you breathe the air, do you recognize where the oxygen comes from that fills your lungs? Do you realize that the plants, trees and even the algae created it for you? There is a symbiotic relationship, whether you want to see it or not, between each Human Being and nature. This is one of the most profound alignments you have because you are from the dirt of the earth. If you look at how you got here, even life itself, it was a mixture of the elements on the planet that created you. You might say that The Field developed a symbiotic relationship with the trees and the plants so that you could exist. That spark of life has now lived and remained for eons and brought you to this place. It's not a time to forget that. It's time to acknowledge that. That's alignment number two. Alignment Three. What is your alignment with the stars? Oh dear ones, this is a good one. You might say, "Well, I really don't have an alignment with the stars actually." I would ask, why would you think that? Then you might say, "Well, it's not relevant to my life. I live in the city and I can't even see the stars. I don't ever think of them." Did you realize that the stars and the planetary systems that revolve around them are all of the same stuff that your Earth is made of? I've said it before: The elements on this planet are the elements of the galaxy. There aren't many mysterious elements lurking out in the vastness of space. They are all represented here on your Earth. Oh, perhaps you www.nourishpublication.com

struggled to see what's inside the atom, but you don't have to struggle to understand that the atom you study is everywhere. Indeed, there are different gravities, different gas combinations, and different sizes of everything, but I am talking about the fact that this earth came from all of that which is "out there". That means that when you cast your eyes to the stars, they are part of you. Did you hear some of the teaching today from the scientists who talked about that which is your chemistry - the DNA? Did you hear them discuss the fact that perhaps, just perhaps, you didn't actually come from anything here on the planet? If that's the case, where did you come from? What if the "missing link" is something from the stars? Now, that's an alignment! Dear ones, the truth is that you are a combination of the biology of the evolution of this planet, plus the evolution of consciousness from the stars. Although your mainstream science will take a very long time to see this, they will continue to see the pointers to it - the missing pieces of the Human evolutionary chain. So again I ask, what is your alignment with the stars and those in the stars? Is it possible that there are consciousnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outside of your planet? Is it possible they are active and that you can feel their benevolence? Could there be others watching you or even here on the planet in some form that only have you in mind and the shift you are going through? Did you ever think that possibly there are others here with benevolence and compassion to help you through it? And the answer is yes. So, what is your relationship to the stars? Dear scientist sitting here, is it such a stretch to break the barriers of belief and think for a moment that things are much bigger than you think? It is so big the enormity of the reality of who you are and where you have come from is astonishing. A true scientist should be open for new discovery, but what is the box of possibility that you were told about? Can you step out of it for a moment?

What if I told you there are far more entities in the galaxy who know you than there are Humans on the planet? They know the condition that you have, which is free will. They are also aware of the "hands off" policy until you made the decision that you have now started - to create The Shift. New things are coming to this planet as you evolve in your consciousness and as you begin to realize your alignment to the stars is real and perhaps even biological. There will absolutely come a day when you meet that "alignment" and it will look a lot like you. Alignment Four: What is your alignment to you? "Kryon, what do you mean, 'What is my alignment to me?' That's an odd question. I'm just me." Really? And how do you feel about just me? When you think about who you are and how you feel about life, is there an alignment with something inside, or, as you are indicating, is there no relationship at all with your own soul? I started this lesson by asking about your alignment with others. Can you see God in others? Can you see God in yourself? What is your alignment with yourself? I will tell you yet again, and again, and again, that so many Humans, even old souls, see themselves as unworthy and less than others. Are you in love with yourself? This may seem like an odd question, but you can be in love with your existence in a nonegotistical way, or you can be in love with yourself in an egotistical way. With humanism, much of it is dysfunctional and egotistical. There is a huge difference, and one that separates all of you in duality. This is one of the first alignments that you are going to have to make and an important choice. "Kryon, if it's the most important alignment, why is it number four?" The answer to that is something I will give you in a moment. How is it - you with you? When you walk out of this room in awhile, do you think things like: "I am worthy to be here. This was beautiful because I created it as beautiful?" Did you learn during the three days that you don't have to ASK for 18

things from Spirit? Who would you be asking when God is inside? When God is inside you, are you then asking yourself? The paradigm of your relationship to the creator is beginning to change. Instead of asking, you are aligning - aligning with the truth of the reality of who you are. You learned that the proper way of stating and working with affirmations are often in contrast with the seeming now reality. The sick man affirming health would seem to be foolish for stating out loud how healthy he is as he coughs and sputters through the affirmation. However, if you understood how this actually works, you'd understand that he is actually affirming his own health and claiming who he is becoming. He is aligning with the future of his own cellular structure, which is healthy. That is a very multidimensional alignment with yourself! Are you in that mode? Do you understand the difference between the past method and the current one? The change is going from working with an outside source to an inside source. Do you feel you are worthy? Can you sit before God and know you belong in this enhanced and powerful energy? When you think of the auditorium of Earth, is there a seat with your name on it - or are you standing in the back watching everyone else get something? Did you ever think of that? Where is your place, dear ones? Do you belong or are you just on the sidelines hoping to exist? Perhaps you've had something in life beat you up like disease, and now you've been told that the whole experience is part of your own thinking? This is the new paradigm. Healing is from inside, and you have control over it. You can have victory over it if the alignment with you is there. How are you aligned with yourself? Can you visualize hugging yourself and saying, "Good job! We've gone through another day and we're becoming more balanced. We are beginning to really understand love." Is that you? Dear ones, it is indeed you, if you wish it to be. Free will is always the key. These are the things you can do or not as you choose. Do you believe it, or has someone told you differently? If they www.nourishpublication.com

have, look at their life. Is it what you wish to emulate?

one. I just gave you the five attributes of the one alignment.

here in this room. Can you feel the coherence of hearts?

Alignment Five: What is your relationship to the creator? Have you figured it out yet? Is it possible that inside you is a piece of that which you call God, which we call the creative source?

There is only one alignment energy, and it is in a circle. All of you are together in The Field. There is always an invitation for you to feel this fact. All of you are together with an alignment with the creative source. All of you are together with the alignment of yourself. All of you are together with the alignment with nature and the stars. It is one alignment with many facets, like a jewel that wants to shine brightly. Once you start to see one intermingle with the other alignments, you start to understand what you have inside you. It is that point in time when you realize it is all connected. It is that time when you realize you can't be alone and that other individuals are connected to you. The old Human nature is separatism, fear, war and a survival based on competition. The new Human is unity, compassion and a survival based on cooperation and understanding each other.

There are those here who understand everything I've said. There are even several of you who will leave healed, and you haven't even discovered it yet. [Kryon smile] When you start the alignment, the one alignment with all that is, it creates a divine energy of who you are and it starts to wrap around you. Then you realize that you don't have to figure it out. You don't have to know the details, and the things you may have learned and forgotten this day are still in you. In fact, you start to resonate in a way that says, "I knew all of this as an old soul, and this whole series of meetings with all this knowledge is simply a course in REMEMBERING."

Do you recognize the difference in my language between God and the creative source? God is a singular, 3D name often representing a source of power and judgment. The creative source is an expansive concept. It can be as large and as multiple as you want. Did you know that the creative source is multidimensional and, therefore, quantum? Did you know that it is infinite and everywhere? Did you know that it permeates every single particle of matter? Did you know it's personal and knows your name? It is not one thing at all. It's everything, everywhere. An alignment with the creative source should be something that is very doable. Is it possible for you? If the answer for you is "yes," even marginally "yes," then you have to say to yourself, "If I am part of The Creative Source, therefore, 'I am that I am - multidimensional.' Therefore, I am also a piece of every single Human Being on the planet, beyond that which anyone can see or analyze or measure. I am many dimensions." This idea, dear ones, is where the evolution of humanity will occur - a coherence of unity with all that is. The alignment between you and the creative source will create a multidimensional change in you. Those who start to become multidimensional start to soar in their intellect, in their intuition and in their awareness of a greater truth. As you walk out the door today, can you say, "I'm a piece of the creator, and I have God inside me. I am eternal"? Does it make you nervous to say it? If so, examine why: You may be participating in the past of what you were told, instead of a future where you are able to cognize by yourself what is the intuitive truth. Which do you want? A Grander Truth I just gave you five alignments. However, now I'll tell you a secret: There's only

We have told you that if you go into a closet and shut the door, there are a million angels with you. But, dear ones, if everyone is part of the creative source, it also means that everyone on Earth at some level is also in that closet. Can you align with this thought? We have covered the deceptions of the old energy before. The veil is starting to lift and you are beginning to have spiritual common sense, and you know better. New intuition starts to tell you these things and it becomes self-evident to many that compassion is the key, not reaction, separation, self-preservation and defense. All that has been said in these last three days talks about this fact. The discoveries of the prophecy of the ancients point to this fact, that there is a new energy on the planet and that you are now sitting in it. Dear old soul, what does all this mean to you? The new paradigm that is here asks you to look at things differently. This is because of what is going to happen on the planet - and it begins with old souls. There are those in the room who do not believe in channelling, but they might believe in love. Dear one, if this is you, you might leave this place a little different, having heard and felt what is 19

This describes the old soul in the new energy - the one who is different, who craves balance, who starts to understand themselves and who understands compassionate action. These are the ones who know what they might be able to accomplish as they walk out from here and show others their light. It is the beginning of a new earth. You are a new Human, with a new paradigm of existence, if you choose to understand what I have just given you. It's up to you. Don't be afraid of the love of God! Some of you have never really let it in. You turn it on and off, don't you? It's only available when you meditate perhaps, not understanding that it's 24/7? You can feel it always in your life, as you speak to others, as you eat dinner, as you go to sleep, as you wake up. It never sleeps and is always there. There's nothing like the lover you have with creative source. Until next time. Think on these things. And so it is. KRYON

If you were to take frankincense, mix it with patchouli and Idaho balsam fir, you would be pretty close to the scent of Copaiba. Delicious. Delectable. A scent you will be drawn to over and over again. One that speaks to a place deep within the core of your being and satisfies a longing you didn’t even know existed. Copaiba. Used by the indigenous peoples of South America, copaiba is a sustainable resource that does not require the tree to be taken down. The tree is tapped for the resin (much like the maple trees in the northern hemisphere). The resin is then steam distilled to extract the oil. It is something of a powerhouse! It can help with skin problems like acne (antiinflammatory and antibacterial) and sagging skin (promotes the production of collagen), gives relief from the pain of arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, and helps with respiratory and digestive problems. Do your research, purchase a bottle and begin to enjoy the wonderful effects!

Remember that your skin is the largest organ in your body. Putting an essential oil on your skin is one of the best ways to receive all the benefits of it. Diluted in organic carrier oils, a little essential oil goes a long, long way. When you purchase this oil, play with it. Make sure that you are getting pure copaiba. Enjoy exploring this essential oil, and please – always remember to use only 3rd party certified therapeutic grade essential oils.

Open your self up to giving When I asked what the power animal is this month, turkey showed up. Their message to us this month is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be like us and give of yourself for the greater good of others. Your family, the community, and the world. This does not have to be monetary giving but can be a small kindness, an open heart, a listening ear, etc. In doing this both you, others and the world benefit. Open yourself up to receiving in whatever way that comes to you for it is a gift and in those gifts, learn how to receive them. For learning to receive is as important as giving. Please also do something, either a ceremony or something, to honour the earth and the gifts she gives us by sustaining and supporting us. The give away is very important now in honour of our giving and receiving. Be blessed." Yours in the gift of giving The Turkeys

A Crystal Reading for

August 2017

We see you, dear ones. You think sometimes that you are forgotten, that no one knows of your inner struggles, your personal tragedies. You put on the cloak of “I’m Fine” and think that it is believed. Let us tell you, even those near and dear to you do not believe. They stand back because they do not know how to assist, what words to say that might bring you relief. They may even be afraid of an outburst of emotion from you, and they are not sure how to handle that. Speak up. Tell your pain to those who care for you. All will hear to the best of their ability, and for some, that ability is very high. It all boils down to one word. TRUST. You will spend this month learning to open to trust. Whether you are the one filled with pain and sorrow, or whether you are the one hearing your beloved’s pain and sorrow. Open to TRUST. You are dearly loved.

Namasté

Week One – August 1st to 5th – Jasper: Jasper comes in so many forms and colours, but no matter her shape or hue, she is the supreme nurturer. This week sense her presence as you feel the wind knocked out of you by someone you count as beloved. At this time many of you will need nurturing. Breathe deep and allow the energies of jasper to soothe your heart.

Week Two – August 6th to 12th – Rose Quartz: No smooth piece this. She is ready with her rough edges to meet your pain head on. Allow this heart stone to whisper love into your soul, into that pain you are carrying within. Take a piece in your pocket to caress when the going gets rough. Be prepared to part with a piece – someone in need of her energies will be grateful.

Week Three – August 13th to 19th – Amethyst: This crystal is with you this week to assist you in travelling to higher realms. Meet with your Higher Self, with your guides to find answers you have been seeking. Take the plunge. TRUST that what you hear is real. Spirit will never seek to increase your pain or the pain of another. Take the hand of the one who seeks help and show them how to move to their inner knowing, the knowing that they are loved. You are a valuable resource. TRUST that it is so.

Week Four – August 20th to 26th – Pyrite Schist: This week see the silver lining. Actively seek it. If you are not able to speak it, write it down for yourself. It is hard to hear what others perceive to be the silver lining – because that speaks of them, not of you. Sit with this goal in mind, no matter what troubles your heart. There IS a silver lining. Name it and you will begin to experience it with clarity.

Week Five – August 27th to 31st – Zincite: This week revel in the good, the positive, the powerful that has come from the pain and sorrow. Express your joy, out loud and quietly. Feel gratitude for all that you have, for all that you are. Bless those who walk your path with you, whether they are there for a moment or for eternity. Keep a look out for those you cannot see. TRUST that your intuition is correct. Give a nod of your head, a burst from your heart – then feel the loving resonance in return.

The Solar Eclipse sets the stage for the next 6 months on a physical or environmental level. Be sure to journal the week before and after the Eclipse for symbolic messages that will point to where new goals or patterns and habits need to be set. You must embrace a level of trust that accompanies the darkness of the new moon. Even though you can’t really see where you are going – but intuitively know that movement forward must begin.

Set new goals and make the adjustments to current goals as needed to bring the inner changes out into your environment. Take care that you do not let your mind grind get out of control, instead you could call on your closest friends to be a support system. If you have been making the inner changes they will cheerfully be nodding as you share the goals you have made and step up to the plate to assist you when ever they can. We continue to have access to solid boundaries, and organization skills and don’t forget to tap into some extra giddy up and go from your planet of action!

The lunar cycle is a monthly marker giving us a time line in which to complete old tasks, then birth the new. Connect to the genetic/collective habits and patterns of our multidimensional bodies.

This Lunar Eclipse will set the stage on an emotional level, connecting to our patterns and habits for the next 6 months. Be sure to journal the week before and after the Eclipse – watching for symbolic messages that point to how the goal we so desire can be completed.

For something different, I decided to draw a card for each month of 2017 and present it here. This month the card is 2 of Gabriel. In the Archangels Tarot by Doreen Virtue and Raleigh Valentine, the 2 of Wands is known as "2 of Gabriel.”

For me the two of wands speaks of our personal power. No matter what is going on within our lives we ultimately have the power to see it as going well. When I receive the two of wands in a reading I know that all systems are go and things are on the right track. Even if they don’t seem to be, they are. Take a bit of time this month to assess how things are flowing in your life. If something appears to be stagnant, perhaps it needs to be nurtured a bit or walked away from. From the Archangel Power Tarot guidebook; “Make bold and ambitious choices! Great progress is possible. Important relationships with people who share your vision.” “You’re making great progress! If you’re experiencing a pause in the action, then it’s time to reassert yourself and get things moving again. Be bold and ambitious! You may have a choice to make. Don’t let indecision keep you from going forward. The right choice won’t come from your mind….so follow your heart. Important relationships are possible right now. Partner with people who share your outlook and passion. In each of the decks the traveller is looking out to the landscape around him. Dreaming perhaps of his/her next move. It is the pause before the action, prepare for swift travel as this card always ushers in new growth.

You may experience a great sense of harmony and reward within a working relationship this month. stay mindful of the give-and-take required for all successful relationships. If things are feeling "out of balance" for you in general now, know that they are about to get substantially better. Keep your eyes on the prize that you're looking for, metaphorically, and remain or get positive. The Two of Wands suggests ideas will flow freely, challenges will be easily and swiftly dealt with, and you'll feel like you're cooking on gas!! If you find yourself experiencing quite the opposite, and a working or personal relationship is proving more trouble than its worth, then you need to move away from this person and look for new projects or opportunities. Remember that great oaks grow from small acorns, so it would be good to start developing any new ideas you have.

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messages drawn from Daily Guidance from your Angels Doreen Virtue Ph.D 42

www.nourishpublication.com

Hello my friends.

The last rune was Eihwaz, or what you can expect to happen if you follow the cause rune. This is a very powerful rune of protection, and represents the Yew tree (which was the wood used to make bows), and Yggdrassil, the Great Tree, from which forms the nine worlds.

I asked the runes to show me what we can expect for the coming month and beyond. What I got was very poignant, considering the political situation around the world. I was also reminded that when I write my readings, I often interpret them from a political angle, rather than a personal one. This is because I try to keep the reading general, but I also cannot deny that my political bias will often get in the way.

Eihwaz shows that you have set your sights on a reasonable target and can expect to achieve those goals, however, do not be so eager as to push ahead without thought or care. Delays can be beneficial.

That being said, here is what the runes gave me. What you get from this cast may not be the same as me, which is neither right or wrong, it simply is.

When Eihwaz is in a prominent position in the cast, it indicates that no matter how bad things look at present, they will turn around. This rune informs one that through foresight, perseverance, and right action, difficulties can be avoided.

The first rune cast, or the problem rune, was Hagalaz. It is one of the runes of limitations and delays, and is also the rune of all forces outside your control.

This month I am also going to add what the magickal meanings of these three runes are, as they sometimes take on other meanings.

It is the symbol of elemental disruption. This disruption is neither good nor bad, but as the forces bearing down on us are impersonal, it takes on a negative quality.

The meaning of Hagalaz in magick is quite different from divination. Here it is also delays, but not stagnation. It is the rune of evolution, but it is of slow and steady type within a fixed framework. This fixed nature promotes security and keeps negative energies from entering your space.

In this cast, Hagalaz indicates that our future is held in the hands of another, and in this instance, this â&#x20AC;&#x153;otherâ&#x20AC;? is a faceless official or someone with no personal interest in us.

We would use it for protection, where luck is needed, and to encourage a positive result within a fixed framework.

As this is the problem rune, it shows us that now is not the right time for any new starts, but delays are not always a detriment. Sometimes these delays are only to teach us how to live with them. Now is the time to sit back and watch.

Perthro is the rune of time and change. It rules over secrets and things hidden and is also allied with karmic energies. You would use this rune for, evolving your magickal abilities, finding lost things, and promoting good mental health in healing.

Hagalaz can sometimes foreshadow a disruptive natural event. More often than not, this will only be a temporary one, lasting only as long as the reading. This interruption may be the catalyst we need to totally change our direction in life, but that is determined by the surrounding runes.

Eihwaz keeps its same meaning, although, more so. It is the rune of banishing and protection. You use this powerful rune for, protection, an increase in power, and the removal of obstacles. I now leave you to glean your own meanings from this reading and I hope it helped you in some small way.

The second rune, or cause rune, was Perthro. This rune is shrouded in mystery, as its meaning is disputed by scholars and runemasters. Some call it the dice cup, or the casting of lots, so chance. My interpretation of Perthro is that of occult abilities and because I do not use the blank rune (WYRD), things hidden and secrets.

As always,SkĂĽl til alle mine venner Phil

This rune usually indicates that something that has remained hidden is about to come to light, and most often it is something positive.

Message from the Angels August 2017 Greetings dear ones, Your coming earth month is going to be one in which many achievements can be met with positive results. Your enthusiasm, vitality, and courage will provide an increased ability to overcome obstacles and provide the energy you need to cope with any problems you may be experiencing. We want to speak to you of this so that you understand the importance of staying focused. Do not allow concerns to take you away from the task at hand. If you feel doubts surfacing, ask that we gently remind you of what you are working towards Don't feel overwhelmed by what needs to be done to reach your goals, you are more than capable, and the energy is here to support your endeavours. Please, do not become complacent and believe that it will all fall into place naturally, you are the magic ingredient, and your touch on each aspect brings it to life. Believe in yourself. And while it might seem like a good time to reflect back on the foundation you have built and give yourself a few pats on the back, remember you are not going that way. You are not finished yet, merely moving into a new phase in your life, which will be followed by another. Be excited, but stay grounded. You are entering an expansive time frame, a window of opportunity, where you are only limited by how much you desire something and how much effort you are willing to expend. Trust the thoughts as you have them, second guess less and see where the road takes you. Each of you is indeed drawing your map with each step you take. This is new territory, one that does not follow the old rules or ways. Allow your innate wisdom to guide you, no matter how crazy it seems, this is the new paradigm. A word of caution, life is not just about "one" thing, one focus, do not be so immersed in your pursuit that you forget about everything else. Make sure you have some fun along the way. Take time to relax, and if you find yourself worrying or stressing, please give to others. Yes, give! Whatever you have to offer, offer it to someone. It will take you away from stressing about next steps and plans. Even if all you have to offer is your time and love, give it freely, and you will be blessed as well as the other person. Be the light you were meant to be, shine your brightest this month dear ones as the universe shines good fortune upon you this month. There is nothing you cannot achieve right now, so spread your wings and soar farther than you have ever soared. Be the leader and leave a path that others may follow with courage, enthusiasm and vitality. We have no doubt you have got this, and we cannot wait to see the results. Enthusiastically yours the power of three Through Mcobb
