The Power of Intent: Gratitude
by Jodi A. Zeramby
Today I feel gratitude pour through me. Gratitude
for my lifestyle, for all the wonderful events that
fit into this puzzle, my puzzle, my life. I feel
gratitude for my job, my house, my material
possessions; I feel gratitude for my spouse, my
family, my friends, my colleagues, and for those
people with whom I interact; I feel gratitude for
the knowledge I receive and transfer; I feel
gratitude for the wondrous intra-workings of the
universe. Even as I struggle, I laugh at the
challenges because I am alive and happy and
striving. As I fight for my livelihood and accept
each change as it comes, I am bolstered. I find this
reality—fascinating. I look forward to tomorrow. And
so, these past days as I have grasped at the small
indentations in life, struggling upward, plodding
one small step by the next small step toward my
goals, I find that I am reaching the
summits! Although there were times when I could not
see my progress, others did, even as they cheered me
on. I am validated. It gives me renewed hope for all
the areas within my world where I step forth
purposefully, even while I cannot see through the
miasma of chaos prevalent in life. I maintain my
balance by understanding that I need not know the
how’s, only the what’s—my goals.
Around me I hear those who bemoan their lots in
life, who complain and dwell on what they lack. They
remind me of still portraits, of snapshots taken
during melancholy moments: Looking up the hill that
must be climbed at the end of a long day. An autumn
leaf floating on a muddy puddle. A person drinking
an expensive bottle of wine alone on New Year’s Eve.
Mist rising off a frozen lake. The ruffling of a
wheat field like fingers through hair. A shy teen
leaning against the far wall waiting to be asked to
dance. A seagull crying as it wheels over the ocean.
Feet swollen and blistered from walking in the wrong
direction.
We talk about life, about attitude and perspective.
We alter our outlook and count our blessings.
Emotions shift toward positive outcomes: Standing in
the rain, watching a rainbow form across the way.
Finding five dollars on the street after counting
pennies to buy milk. Walking through clouds on a
mountain peak toward a spectacular vista. Perceiving
the
light fringing a closed door in a dark room. Viewing
the first tulip blooming after the winter snows.
And, finally, we are present and accepting of each
moment. Life is not so bad. In fact, it is quite
wonderful! We experience life in all its glory,
recount our blessings, and visualize our pleasure
and satisfaction: Reading before a roaring fire
while wrapped in an afghan. Perfect silence as snow
blankets the city. New adventures in well-known
areas. Sailing the sheltered cove at sunset. Hands
clasped in friendship. Rambunctious puppies spilling
over each other to kiss you. A career that makes
your heart sing. Writings that alter your
perception. Because, as Langston Hughes so
wonderfully states: we are “Walkers With The Dawn.”
Being walkers with the dawn and morning,
Walkers with the sun and morning,
We are not afraid of night,
Nor days of gloom,
Nor darkness--
Being walkers with the sun and morning.
And so we walk our roads, accepting all that occurs
in our lives—the magnificent unfolding of events
that we create. We seek balance in all matters,
which includes creating viewpoints that cut through
the grays of life, the blurry lines between our
perceptions and others’ viewpoints, the perceived
struggles we experience while attempting to
understand this beautiful, heart-aching, wonderful
world, and the outcomes of actions people take while
attempting to mold their realities. Most
importantly, we appreciate each moment, respectful
of others’ stories but standing true within our own.
Inspired by E.E. Cummings, as I start each day, so I
end it:
I thank You God for most this amazing day: for the
leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true
dream of sky; and for everything which is natural
which is infinite which is yes

Working
Energetically with Children
by Peggy Zeramby
It is a
question we often discuss. I receive many questions about
what age is
 appropriate
or will a certain attunement be too powerful? Can a child
withstand the energetic shifts that come from the
attunements? If so, what is okay and what is not?
Many parents are seeing
how advanced the children are today entering into the earth
plane. They are choosing to have the child receive their
Reiki attunements as well as other attunements. Sometimes,
it is perfect, and other times it feels a bit overwhelming.
Plus, to make that decision as an adult for our child or
children can be daunting. Am I hearing correctly? Am I
pushing my child? Will it hurt them?
I have worked many
times with children. When the child is present, I feel all
the Angels, Ascended Masters and all the high energy beings
circling around the girl or boy. I am told, “do nothing, we
are doing all that is meant to happen”. I hold the child
while my body is used as a grounding vehicle for the
energetic support to enter into the physical plane. I am
not involved in any of the decisions as to what or when
anything is received, if anything at all. Sometimes I feel
shifts occur, sometimes nothing. It is all perfect.
What is our role with
these children that are here already and coming in? What is
okay to do or not do? I am told that many of these children
are already able to do more than what we believe. I am told
that some need a simple calibration that can be facilitated
through one of us without our awareness. Or some need quite
a bit of support and can receive it through a facilitator’s
body grounding in the “method” that is perfect for that
little person. Again, it is not for us to decide. These
little people are already equipped with decision-making
ability and do so with their energetic team.
At some point, I can
see the children choosing to become certified Reiki Masters,
or AngelLink facilitators or even simply the “Voices of
Love” in others’ lives. At that point, taking the steps to
receive the titles or labels will be their conscious
choice. It will be the confirmation of the Physical Aspect
of their Being aligned with what we have seen all along.
As we hold a child,
touch a shoulder, kiss a cheek, the choice to receive
energetic support is being facilitated many times without
our conscious awareness. Such a gift!
Manifesting Simply
by Peggy Zeramby
Power vs
Empowerment…..
in the
Manifestation Process
Manifesting
Simply! Manifesting Quickly! Moving forward with
Love and Ease.
I am blessed with a
little boy in my home. At nine months old he
started to focus on what to do with his feet. He
would concentrate whenever he had the chance on what
his feet could do. Three to four weeks went by, and
his foot moved the way his brain wanted it to. The
moment this happened, he stopped breathing out of
excitement, and his expression showed disbelief that
his body was finally moving the way he had willed it
to so many times before that moment! Perfect.
Something that we so innately do -- manifest
simply.
He kept it easy; he
didn’t give up. He did not have all the many
thousand of thoughts that we have running through
our heads throughout the day…he still ate, slept,
played, learned, grew, and followed his inner
urgings to focus his intent on moving his feet
forward. He didn’t have any emotional thought of
not being able to do it. He didn’t have fear that
it couldn’t happen. He was not bogged down with
ego. It was his divine right to walk. His body was
made to walk, and it was going to happen. Days
before he turned ten months old, he took his first
step. At thirteen months old, he is an experienced
runner!
Clearing clutter
out of our lives is very important on so many levels
and essential to manifesting simply. It impacts our
lives when we are coming from a place of Power or
Empowerment. You might ask how we can create
harmony in our lives as we have jobs,
responsibilities, families, friends, etc. We have
many areas where we can tackle clutter: our homes (as
the outer is a reflection of the inner!),
our minds and emotions (through choosing our
thoughts or meditating regularly), and our physical
bodies (through cleansing and exercise). There are
so many ways we can begin. What it really
symbolizes is ”clearing the clutter” energetically.
Keep it simple, clear the clutter, open your mind,
know that harmony is our divine right, focus on the
end result, and “walk” like my little one did.
There is a catch.
You knew there was, didn’t you?!
J
There is the realization that Empowerment and Power
are two different intentions. When we are
Empowered, we are in a state of harmony within our
selves and therefore the world – remember the outer
is a reflection of the inner! A state of
Empowerment is coming from a place of Higher Wisdom
(same as Higher Self). Higher Wisdom is one with
our physical, emotional and mental bodies. Higher
Wisdom urges and prompts us forward. We need to
realize that we are asking for essences in our
lives. Not a specific person, specific employer,
specific home, specific number of children but an
essence of what it is that we are asking to
experience. Is it a life partner? Someone who is
loving, kind, loyal, romantic, wants
children/doesn’t want children, spiritual/not
religious/or religious within a specific
faith…Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, etc. Whatever it is
that we are wanting can be manifested. Yet, if we
hold the space that we want to manifest a specific
person named “John” or “Jennifer” and only him or
her as the life partner, we will most likely be
disappointed. In those moments, we are in a place
of power and control. Power being that we must be
the alpha, the dominating force, over our world. Or
when that does not work, an outside force has
imposed its will over our lives. How do we determine
if we are in a place of power or empowerment?
Empowerment is a feeling of harmonious, joyful,
connection to All that Is. We will want the best
for all those around us. We will cheer ourselves on
as well as the person who wants the same exact
thing. We will have the awareness that an unlimited
supply of love exists. Power will reflect itself in
power plays with others, fear of an outcome or lack
of an outcome, jealousy, depression, sadness, etc.
I bring us back to
my little one. He was in harmony inside his body
with the intention to walk. He was empowering
himself to go forward. He did not control it by
forcing it by a specific date. He felt the urge and
moved with it. When his body was ready, it
happened. There was no pride that it must
happen. He was in complete harmony. He felt the urge
to walk. He pursued the inner urgings by intending
it simply, exercising his muscles towards that goal,
and it happened.
As Lightworkers, it
is our responsibility to Light and Clear the way!
To calibrate our beings to our inner harmony and
therefore manifest simply! To be in a state of joy
and love. This anchors Empowerment and
Manifestation for ourselves as well as all those on
the Earth plane. It is a magical time in our
lives! Embrace your Higher Wisdom…it is the first
step to Self-Actualization!
