Greetings, dearest ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. We are the Melchizedek Order, spiritual guardians of your quadrant of space. The Ascended Masters are our guiding hierarchy, leading the vast number of loving Brothers to help you at many, many levels. Our healing legions are led by Lord Sananda, whom you call Jesus Christ. Truly, he is beyond religious labeling. He is very saddened that His name has been appropriated by some and denied by others. It is time to let go of your religious boxes, dear hearts, for as long as you cling to separatist beliefs you will not ascend into the True Reality of Spirit, where we All reside. The warrior legions of Brothers are led by Archangel Michael, yes, who carries the big blue Sword of Righteousness. The energetic lightworkers probably know by now that Michael cuts the ties that bind you to your past density, and then Jeshua heals the wounds left behind. Since there is an average of five brothers for every human soul here present, do not doubt that Spirit is on your side! Above all, do not doubt that your future is bright with promise and joy.

By now, 2010, you should be well into constructing your future foundation. Most of you awakened and aware ones have either moved or decided to stay put. You have been taking care of your physical vehicles with exercise, rest and pure food and water. You have been loyal to a daily practice, clearing your energetic layers of old 3D density. You know to take vitamin supplements, avoid stress, and listen to your body's instructions. So, with two years left to go before the Great Shift of the Ages, why do things seem to be going from bad to worse? Ah, dear ones, that is the emerging face of an old friend you call chaos. Any cook will tell you that soup needs stirring once in a while, and that certain chemical reactions must occur between the ingredients, the stove and your intent, before the food is ready.

We speak of transformation, in seemingly simple terms, yes? (Chuckles.) Chaos is simply part of the cooking process! Politics must be pushed to a "tipping point" before change can happen. All of the "dark" institutions that were run without spiritual integrity have come into the light of awareness and change. From Enron to Wall Street, from the banking industry to the mortgage house-of-cards that inevitably had to tumble down. The global downturn that followed is a clear lesson that you are all interconnected, that what you all do affects all of you! The weather is also increasing in severity, as exemplified by the most recent earthquake in Haiti. All of these seemingly-disparate things going on contribute to the general feeling of chaos all around you.

When you factor in the speeding up of time, no wonder you feel stressed! To quote Alice's White Rabbit, "So much to do, so little time!" The best antidote for chaos is to slow down, take it easy, and take the time to take care of yourselves. The Circle of Grace is but one example of a meditative practice that can be more healing than you can imagine. The need for daily cleansing is becoming vital, children, truly vital. Whether you are a runner, a bather, or a yoga enthusiast, do something! As we have said before, the coming changes in energy upon your planet are like a big sieve through which you must rise. Your higher, clearer "energy parts" will rise through the sieve, but your dense-energy blockages will not. Once you incorporate a daily practice of some sort into your lives, you will be amazed at the amount of etheric baggage you have to release! Don't be dismayed or discouraged, and do not fear that the clearing and energizing you receive during the Circle of Grace meditation is addictive – it is simply teaching you how your energetic bodies work. Feeling better is within your reach, and pretty soon you may not need to reach for so many pills!

The Higher Levels of the Circle of Grace

For those of you who have adopted the Circle of Grace as your clearing meditation, or have combined it into your favorite process, we would like to discuss the advances you will experience as you work your way diligently towards donning your light bodies by 2012. Once you have removed the major boulders (chuckles) in your meridians and can tune into the cleansing process of your nervous system, several things will change. Yes, please remember, change is good!

We remind you here again that every organ and system in your physical core is mirrored in your aura. You already know that your entire GI tract, from swallowing to excreting, is performed by your inner muscles in waves you call "peristaltic motion". Once you have accomplished a good bit of clearing, the Circle of Grace sensations will change as the "flushing meridians" combine into one big release pathway, clearing the front of your body, then the back, in slow, rolling waves moving downward in tandem with your breathing and eye pulses (which we touched on in the November 200 easy and quick, with wave after wave of pressure lifting off in the same peristaltic motion as your internal systems use! Since this is a closed-pressure system, your aura always replaces the spent energy with the new, more refined energies now coming onto your planet. Imagine what a power nap that will be!

At first, you may feel a blending together of all your "front" meridians and experience pressure rolling down the front of your body like a blanket and exiting from the hands and feet. When you achieve that level of clearing, you will surely recognize it! Those waves of release will continue until the front meridians are cleared of pressure. When that subsides, your aura will switch to clearing all of your back meridians, again flowing down and out your hands and feet. How perfectly economical is that?! Kudos to all of you who can do this, and blessings to all for seeking to know what to reach for.

We have gently joked with you that the more you know, the higher you can go! You are only limited by your own imaginations, but we also say that your potential is unlimited! Have you figured out yet that you can clear a headache while doing something else? Simply focus on your nondominant arm and tell it to release your head pressure. Drop your jaw open, tip your head to that side, and your body will quickly respond! (We advise you not to do this while driving, until you have fully mastered the technique. Yes, meditating while operating heavy machinery can be hazardous to your health! Chuckles.)

Please look again at the simple concept we stated above: The more you clear, the higher you can go! Do you see that this is a statement of science as well as faith? The more you learn about how your human form functions energetically, the closer you will draw Science and Spirituality. Yes, we give those two words capital letters for a reason – the merging of Science and Spirituality is the greater mission of the Brotherhood of Light. In that blend you will find true science, and much better pathways to health.

So, congratulations are in order! Your doctors have discovered another way in which reading the aura can help determine the health of the body. Congratulations to all of you dear researchers, as well! (Source: BBC News 1-21-10, "Simple Scan Spots Stress Disorder" by Jason Palmer, Science and Technology Reporter.) This new field of science is being called "magnetoencephalography", the mapping of electrical impulses that occur in the brain's neural net. The new test is called SNI, or synchronous neural interactions, and so far has a 90% success rate in detecting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, tinnitus, and chronic alcoholism. This new test is (like EEGs and EKGs) mapping the aura in order to determine levels of physical health.

We have explained in earlier work that the aura mirrors the body in organ and function, but that the body's "balancing controls" are in the aura. Once doctors know where to look and develop the proper measuring tools to do so, your scientific and medical knowledge will make huge leaps forward in understanding how the human body functions, and how to keep it in balance. Well, that prediction is coming true!

Another prediction we made (Sedona Journal of Emergence, December 2009 Predictions Issue) was that the Swine Flu is not the global pandemic you all feared it would be. That one came true the same month that the article was published! Now you are finding out (in Europe first) about the hoax perpetrated upon you, and the billions of dollars spent on hastily-formed vaccines that benefited the drug companies more than the rest of humanity. With all the news you have available from around the world, didn't it seem a bit odd to you that the Swine Flu has been front-page news for so long? Even more odd is the lack of news about Morgellon's Disease (see December 2009 Sedona Journal of Emergence!), which is the next global threat to human health. Every time you spot imbalance, dear ones, stop and think about why it stood out to you. Anything and everything that comes into your perception carries information, whether you recognize it as such, or not.

Hone your discernment, dear hearts. Stop and check in with your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers before you form a thought, an opinion, or make a move. The Circle of Grace will help you not only hone, but integrate your PEMS layers so that your senses, your perception and your reality will grow apace with the rising energies on Planet Earth. Discernment leads to detachment, which is a state of having nothing to gain or lose in any situation. Learn to distinguish your heart's whispers from the yammering of your left brain, and your lives will be so much more peaceful! (Chuckles and a big hug.)

Frequently Asked Questions About the Circle of Grace

Since clearing your bodies now is of paramount importance, we have compiled a list of general questions regarding the Circle of Grace clearing exercise. We will stress first that this process works by itself, or augments any daily practice you may already have. The Circle of Grace is not a modality, it is a physical cleansing system already present in each and every one of you. We are merely teaching you how it works, and how to make it work best for you.

Your open jaw is the "on switch" to release meridian pressure from both body and aura. When the teeth are clenched, all of your musculature is poised for fight or flight – the entire body tenses. When the jaw joints are open, your whole body relaxes. That's why it is so difficult to meditate while clenching your teeth. Take a moment to loosen your jaw right now, dear reader, and take a long, slow breath – you will feel the difference in your own body. If you're convinced that you cannot meditate because you cannot relax, please try it one more time, with your lower jaw loose. It is vital to master some kind of daily practice and incorporate it into your lives. After the shift, when you will feel all the PEMS layers of your being as clearly as you feel your bodies right now, knowing how to eat and excrete energy will bring your light bodies into perfect balance. We are teaching you basic care and maintenance of the aura, dear ones, both at the physical and nonphysical levels!

Q1. I start the Circle of Grace exercise by calling in Father/Mother God, the Brothers of Light and my Higher Self, as instructed in your work. I also call for Archangel Michael's sword and also recite other master's decrees, etc... Then I do more visualization exercises by different Ascended Masters including Source Breath. In the end I thank the Brothers for the Circle of Grace. Is this OK or should I only concentrate on the Circle of Grace exercise by itself? I really don't have time to meditate twice a day.

ANSWER #1: That is fine, quite excellent, in fact! Since the Circle of Grace is a process within your body, all modalities and spiritual practices can fit in with it quite well. The more you tailor the spoken prayer to suit your beliefs, the deeper the experience will be for you. Amend the four-part prayer to suit your religious beliefs, say it out loud, then lie down face up, with pillows beneath head and knees, arms and legs uncrossed. Close your eyes, drop your jaw open, and focus on breathing slowly and evenly. You will feel pressures rise and release as you track the pathways of your nervous system cleansing you from the inside out. It matters not if you combine the Circle of Grace with your favorite meditation, affirmations, or visualizations.

What matters is keeping your jaw relaxed!

Q2. In the April (2009) issue of Sedona Journal, the Brothers said to call upon them before going to a doctor or any other important activity. My question is do you have to verbalize the complete healing prayer at all such occasions or you can simply call in the Brothers to help?

ANSWER #2: Yes, verbalizing the prayer –speaking it aloud – is necessary because what you speak becomes concrete! We speak here of a fundamental law of sacred science: all life is composed of varying chords of energetic frequency. By speaking aloud (i.e. through the vibration of your voice in the dimension of physical reality) you are giving us nonphysical beings permission to connect and interact with you in your physical space. That is in keeping with the Creator's laws governing your free-will zone. Only by permission, remember? If your mate is asleep, you can speak the prayer in a low voice (or a loud whisper) in the bathroom when you brush your teeth. If you are an energetic practitioner waiting on a client with a narrow religious view of life, say the connecting prayer before the client arrives. Call us in, discuss the case, and invite us to lead you intuitively to the highest good for you and the other person. Dear ones, don't feel silly speaking to an empty room, for soon you will feel us and see us much more clearly. We are so excited, we can hardly wait!

To answer the other part of your question, yes again. Calling upon your version of True Source, your favorite ascended masters, guides and angels, then calling upon us to join you, the Brotherhood of Light, and then your own Higher Self to guide and lead, that whole four-part prayer is actually a vibrational chord, if you will, that best sets up the connection between you and your higher help. Do you follow? We hope you will!

Of course, if you are in an emergency situation and call upon Spirit's help and protection, the response is immediate! Please remember that you (historically) split apart different aspects of Spirit and gave us individual names. As we are All One in the greater body of God, so we would All respond even if you just called out, "Dear God, help me!"

If you have a planned event or appointment, you can call us in with the four-part prayer (out loud) before you leave the house, or while driving. A doctor's appointment, a driver's test, whatever you wish Spiritual help for, never hesitate to ask! We admit to having a fondness for shopping (chuckles), for it is always a good opportunity to demonstrate how synchronicity abounds in your life. Tell us what you need, what you are looking for, even how much money you want to spend, and we will facilitate your finding it!

Q3. I am very healthy and do not feel the movement of energy either from my Crown Chakra down my body, or from dominant side to nondominant side. Is that ok, since Brothers are moving the energy the best way my body needs?

ANSWER #3: Yes, the body and aura automatically do what needs done, you only need to follow it with your conscious awareness. Have faith that we know what we're doing – your faith fuels the process! A healthy person has free-flowing meridians, so the intake of new energy and the release of old pressure may not be noticed as such. For those of you with chronic aches and pains, or those who are challenged by ailment or injury, you also may not feel any energetic movement at first. Why? Imagine your aura like an overfilled balloon – it's hard and shiny, with no give to it because it's so full. After letting out a bit of pressure, the balloon becomes soft and malleable, so that when you squeeze one end the air inside will move to the other end. In the same way, your aura will "soften" as the pressure within it is lowered. Once there is enough room inside the meridians for the flows to move downward, those sensations will increase. Be patient and diligent, dear one. When you grow familiar with the Circle of Grace process, it will draw your attention to when and where you need to clear a blockage!

Q4. Can I do the COG exercise while sitting? Can you explain other ways to do it?

ANSWER #4: Yes, you can do the clearing while sitting or reclining. You need armrests or pillows to support your elbows, and then let your hands dangle with the fingers pointing downward. If you are comfortable with your hands resting face-down on your thighs, your hand chakras can also join with the meridians that run down the front/middle of your legs. Then all the pressure from your upper body will move down the legs and out the feet. Since this system is all about pressure, remember that crossing your ankles will prevent the flows from exiting your foot chakras.

If you are uncomfortable lying on your back, you can curl up and do the Circle of Grace on your side. Use three pillows, one for under your head, one to hug to your chest, and one to place between your knees. The knee pillow will keep the weight of your upper leg from straining your lower back. The chest pillow will keep the weight of that outer arm from pulling on your upper back. If you wish, you can turn over after a while, and let the other side clear! Or simply ask us to continue clearing you all night on both sides while you sleep. We love to oblige.

Q5. Can the lips be closed with the jaw joints open?

ANSWER #5: Yes, if you can keep your jaw muscles relaxed while your lips are together so that your teeth stay apart. And please don't try to keep your tongue pressed up against your palate. That strains the tongue and neck muscles, and will quickly block the neck area. We try to keep things simple, so that your meditation will remain fluid.

Q6. At night my jaw clamps together when I am in deep sleep. When I get up in between sleep, I open my jaws and request the Brothers for healing again. Could you tell me what can be done?

ANSWER #6: It does help to wear an appliance at night, to keep the jaw from clenching in spasm. Your teeth can become sensitive from all that night grinding, adding to the constant pain. A dentist trained in TMJ problems can fit you for an appliance and adjust your bite, as well, so that your teeth are in proper contact. Once you achieve the right alignment for the upper and lower jaw, tension problems often ameliorate on their own. We highly recommend that path, unless you cannot afford to do so. The Doctor's Mouth Guard is a typical brand you can buy for twenty dollars at the drugstore or grocery store (US & CA). It comes in small, medium and large. You boil it, dip it in cold water, then bite into it and mold the plastic around your teeth. Once you line up the midline between your two front teeth you should get a good fit. It helps by stopping your teeth from touching, so the jaw cannot clench. It is also a soft plastic, which is preferable to biting on something hard.

People who unconsciously clench their jaw (day or night) or grind their teeth in their sleep have less opportunity for self-clearing. As we have explained, the Circle of Grace is the name we gave to a process in your bodies that clears your nervous system of stress and strain while you sleep. Since the jaw is the on-off switch for your meridians to flush pressure down and out, those who clench their teeth are not allowing their nervous system to clear and rebalance for the next day. Chronic aches and pains never seem to go away, they are more easily tired, and their sleep is not as restful. At the physical level, their eyesight, sinuses, ears or jaw joints may be affected enough to cause pain, since the TMJ muscles radiate all around the side of the head, up to the temple, even down the neck and into the upper back.

In terms of energetic clearing, being aware of your jaw helps to recondition the body to new behavior, your new goal being the state of "non-clenching". When in Circle of Grace mode, ask your group of Brothers to work on "rewiring" your head, face, neck and shoulders (every part is linked to every other part, yes?) to release tension and stay relaxed. Check in with your body during the day, see if your shoulders are knotted, if your face feels tight. If you have trouble letting those muscles go limp, try pressing (gently!) your thumb against your top front teeth. This will key you into feeling your head and skull. Then drop your lower jaw, and the sensation of release will be quite evident. Don't do this too often or too hard, or your front teeth may get sensitive! This is a "bio-feedback trigger" that will help you attain a new, more comfortable relationship with your muscles to break the "tension loop" you have been stuck in. If you find that you are grinding your teeth unconsciously during the day, wear your night guard during the day when possible.

Q7. Some days I feel to stressed or too tense to lie down and do my daily practice. Any ideas to help me relax so I can focus?

ANSWER #7: Yes, we always have tons of ideas (chuckles)! This is an excellent question, which brings us to a very important point about the human body and its systems. Your circulatory system is run by your heart as it pumps blood through your body. Your endocrine system has no pump – your lymphatic system, for example, relies on body movement to circulate lymphatic fluids. Ditto for your spinal fluid. Apart from the natural magnetic (interactive) properties of nerve synapses, what is the pump for clearing your nervous system of excess pressure? Again, motion. That is one of the many reasons why consistent exercise is so important for good health. If your life precludes you from regular exercise, how about twenty minutes of stretching? Simple stretching, like neck circles, arm circles, leg lifts, twisting at the waist, bending down to touch your toes, etc., forces your muscles to elongate. This helps to break up muscle spasms, and at the same time, meridian blockages. Remember we said that every organ and system in your physical core is reflected in your aura? Your aura is intrinsically entwined throughout your body, they are truly one system. Your nervous system is reflected by your meridian system. If muscles are bunched tightly around nerves – like in a sciatica problem – the meridians in that area will also be constricted! So stretching can help to break up etheric blockages that are too big to slide down the meridians as they are meant to do. Then your Circle of Grace session will be more efficient and effective!

There are many different types of meditation. Some are moving forms, others are sedentary. As always, we try to reach every reader at his or her own level. Some people like yoga, others like to jog. The basic Law of Balance requires movement away and back to a center point – here, motion and rest equal better health. If stretching is not your preference, how about a hot bath? The heat and weight of the water really get your meridians flowing. You can release lots of pressure when you relax in a hot bath. Equally effective is a half hour in the sun, which also boosts your vitamin D production. (Vitamin D regulates the balance of calcium and phosphate in the body.) After bathing, your self-clearing session will be augmented. Another wonderful way to relax and start breaking up those blockages is by getting a massage. Better yet, after the massage take a hot bath, then lie down and join us in a Circle of Grace session! Again, do what works best for you, just do it regularly. Your body will thank you, and your quality of life will improve.

Sacred Space

In conclusion, we leave you with the antidote to chaos, because we love you so much! Create your own sacred space. It matters not whether it is a separate room or a corner of your bedroom. Ideally, your home should be a haven from the chaos of outer physical reality. Many of you have had rough transitions in the last year or two, and are still picking up the pieces. Now is a perfect time to throw out that old chair you don't like any more; it will feel physically good to get rid of it! Pick one pile of papers to sort every night. Or empty a box per day into three piles: pitch, give and keep. Clean and tidy a few dresser drawers as you watch TV. Your home, car and yard are outward expressions of your inner health. Every time you clear a space, energy can flow more freely. Keeping your living spaces neat will help you feel better, think more clearly, and be more efficient.

Yes, the rules of Feng Shui will become more and more important as the energies rise, for you will be feeling those energies in a new, more intimate way. We could also say that the energies will "thicken" as they rise, for the shorter, sharper waves will actually be denser than the longer, slower energy range you are accustomed to in the physical realms. The end result? The more sensitive you become, i.e. the more your senses expand into the nonphysical range, the more keenly you will respond to imbalances around you and within you. Do you see why creating your own sacred space is so vital for your healing process? A place where you can shut out the chaos, turn off all the noise, and just be still. Many of you keep busy getting as much done as you can before bedtime. For you, we offer this little poem from the Circle of Grace material:

Achieve a state of Be-ing,
And from that Be-ing, do.
Don't run around just doing,
Or you'll forget to Be!

We are, in All Love, the Brotherhood of Light.
