From this place of quiet contentment, this place of knowing and acceptance, the messages are always given the opportunity to find their way easily to my inner wisdom.
Clouds Over the Mountain-As they clear away, we have a clearer view of what lies behind them
I have always found this clarity of vision while in India, but it has alluded me this year while here at home. Channeled messages are always part of my sojourns in India, so receiving the following message early this morning, brought great comfort and joy into my life-more on this following the message:
You no longer need to strive. You have moved beyond the place of having to put so much constant effort into your continuing journey. After many years of hard work, you have earned the privilege of sitting back and enjoying the ride. You only need to allow yourself to flow, without resistance, wherever the current takes you.
If you can relax into this flow it will always bring you to the place you need to be at the moment. Not too early, not too late. If you strive, and “work at it”, you will still get to the same places but you will find yourself pushing against the current very often, which will make the journey that much more difficult. And after your efforts have exhausted you, you will collapse-having used up all of your energies in resistance and in staying afloat. And then once again, you will simply be forced to relax into the flow.
So stop striving – stop trying to “get there faster”. Let us move you along at the pace we know to be the best for you, in the direction which is correct at the moment. We see the big picture, the overview, and know what hazards lie along the way (like a good GPS). If you let us, we will always keep you away from those hazards, even if makes the journey seem roundabout, or unnecessarily twisted and turning.
Continue to have FAITH in our wisdom and in our love for you. We will never steer you in the wrong direction.
You are truly loved.
And THIS is truly what I have been missing by not being in INDIA.
All of my “leaps” forward have occurred in India. Simply because I could allow myself to just “BE”, instead of always “DOING”. And through the quiet of “being”, there was the tranquil place within me which was open to receive these loving messages. I allowed place for the clouds to clear, letting me see with clarity what lies beyond.
The posts of the past couple of weeks have been expressions of a slowly dawning inner awareness – the clearing of the clouds so to speak-and it is now 4:30 AM and a true AHA! moment.
I am truly blessed.

happiness is all about contentment
(a very common scene in developing nations) —a beggar sleeping on the pavement with a hungry stomach may be a reason of envy to a millionaire passing by in a mercedes who may be a patient of insomnia on sleeping pills. even meditation with a discontent mind will not work. love your write ups jane
and I love your comments passionate travellers! How right you are! I’ve written about perspective in past posts and you say it well here. Thanks for your continued presence and comments here. These are what keep me blogging.
with love light and JOY
Reblogged this on Jane's Mindfulness Journal and commented:
Was directed to this post while reading my own random posts (which I do when guided to do so), and once again reminded of this important message (posted just 3 months ago)…and guided to repost it here as well. Would love to hear your thoughts as well. Enjoy!
Very beautiful, and definitely a message that is very important for me! I have a hard time not controlling situations. I get nervous that nothing will happen, or that I am losing opportunities, or that I am being lazy. I have to remember to trust and know I am safe and being taken care of. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier to relax and trust if I was receiving direct communications from my guides, or angels, or channeled communications.
Hi Dearest,
thank you for commenting. Knowing that MY messages are assisting others as well brings me great joy. I always used to wonder why others were receiving messages and I wasn’t. It wasn’t until I understood that I WAS receiving messages all along, but was not aware of them, was not hearing them, that things started to really move along for me. I understand what you are saying. But we very often receive messages without taking note of them. In subtle ways. I’ve mentioned this in many posts also on my other blogs. You might like to check them out under the category of Messages and skim through them to find the ones which might help you find out how to better become aware of the messages I am sure are being sent to you. Remember, what Doreen Virtue says (I paraphrase)…that from the moment you send out your prayer, or request, everything that follows is part of the answer. You just have to pay attention and, I believe, ask for Faith each day and freedom from fear. Fear really messes things up!1
Hope this helps in someway…

another beautiful and insighful thought, Jane. Thank you for sharing. Be still
Love and hugs xx
thanks Yamyah
Just received a new Kindle Touch…being very still
Pretty much just “being”
love light and JOY to you
Indeed, this is one of the benefits of mindfulness and meditation generally – or just learning to listen rather than fill the mind with chatter – and, as you’re experiencing, this gift is with us all the time. All we have to do is take a moment to tune in once in a while. I still find it that bit easier to this when I’m outside my usual context, riding or walking, visiting the beach. Wishing you health and vitality. JS
totally agree. It does seem to be easier if we can change our routine, but within the hectic routine of daily life, being mindful as much as possible during the day, and doing our best to meditate at least once a day, certainly makes it easier to get to those places.
I look forward to reading more on your blog and thank you for your comments here.
much love light and JOY

It takes the cultivation of real inner quiet to hear the inner voice, unless it’s clamouring to be heard in which case it will make itself felt one way or another! It’s so ironic that we often have to travel outward to find these inner oases. One of my first journeys started in the Himalayas before going down into India. I was trying to listen then, but probably too much. Still the mountains left me with gifts that I treasure to this day. JS
this is why I was particularly thrilled with receiving this message while NOT in India this year. we honestly should not have to be someplace else to get to these places, and this is something I have been learning over the past couple of months, and it is reflected in my posts on this – my new blog which I began just a couple of months ago. I also had my first channeled messages while in the Himalayas – I wasn’t looking for anything, or seeking anything -perhaps that made it easier for the messages to come through. But I remember at the time never feeling closer to God than I did while there. And I have been back many times since then, and the magic of the Himalayas never fails to amaze and surprise me.
and yes, if that inner voice is clamoring to be heard, it will pretty much hit you over the head if you don’t listen – like my being “hit” with pneumonia now, forcing me into that seclusion which brought me back to that quiet place.
with love light and JOY
