Lee Harris’ Now You Are Awake Blog

A client of mine who has come to me for a few telephone sessions over the past year, emailed me this today after listening to the July radio show:

I have to say that Story’s experience and your channel for him was extremely powerful for me…I get so excited about the changes coming that sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming for me….I think that I need to ground the energy coming through a bit more or differently. I was wondering if either of you have been experiencing this physical symptom as of late or have had experience with this: I am having sensations in my chest that cause me to feel like I can’t breathe and need to take a deep breath although it can be difficult to do this…it also comes with some pressure that can be quite uncomfortable…I feel it’s something to do with my heart opening but wanted to check in with you…I have had this in the past but this feels really different.

I emailed her my reply and after I had done so, I decided to publish it here as I know it will resonate with many of you as many of you are going through this right now - it’s the power and the energy of this time. So below is my answer to my client, given with love also to those of you here who may want or need it.

The big message I keep hearing the channel giving at the moment is the importance of quiet time, even if that is just 5 or 10 minutes here and there throughout the day. Time where there are no demands on your external energy but just time where you can ‘be’ with yourself internally. This needn’t be any form of structured meditation if you don’t want it to be. You can just sit by yourself and simply feel how you feel. Without judgement or worry (eg if you realize you feel stressed, just notice that and allow it for then it will pass. If you fight it, the stress will continue and often worsen).

Also for me personally, this sitting and being is the only practice I use now whenever I’m going through a big or intense vibrational shift, which you definitely are right now. Remember that these shifts are like undergoing energetic surgery – they are nothing to be worried about (quite the opposite infact- they bring wonderful changes) but they are to be taken seriously when you are going through them. By that I mean, if it were a physical operation you had just gone through, you would definitely rest and take things easy. A lot of lightworkers right now (and I’ve been getting this recently too) are having very big energetic shifts and reconfigurations going on in their sleep. Literally, while we are sleeping we are shedding density and becoming more ‘light’. It can make you feel overtired and a little spacey as when you wake up, a part of you has adjusted, often quite dramatically. 

But just remember you are in the steering wheel with this process, and so if it gets overwhelming, have an internal word with yourself. Just internally ask for a bit more of whatever you need to come your way and it will, whether that’s more grounding or more peace in your daily life. It’s important to remember that as much as it feels this speed of shift is happening to you it is also being driven by you. So just ask yourself for ease and peace on the days you feel you need a bit more of that and make sure that you on those days support that request via your actions, by doing things as peacefully and gently as you can. It’s a 2 way process and commonly, we forget one or the other. We ask the universe but then try and do far too much as human beings. But if you remember to get human and soul working in harmony while you go through these shifts, a balance will return.As for the breathing that’s the anxiety of how fast the change is occurring. I’ve experienced that myself, and it is the body telling you to just stop and be still. Both in the moment and as a longer term reminder that big change is occurring within you. The heart opening is so wonderful, but yes, it can be a big surprise too. So be good to yourself. Very simple advice really, but so important to remember that the simplicity of this can be so powerful when applied. Rest time with the self equals the best grounding you can get. 

I am very happy to have released The Eye of Awareness earlier this week. It is a 70 minute Cd/download all aimed at helping people to develop their awareness. It contains the 20 minute channel that came through at our UK Seminar in May (a favourite channel of mine), and a specially recorded 35 minute talk from me on how to use the growing power of your awareness and ‘The Eye’ in your life and what to expect, what to avoid and what to nurture as you begin to do so. The recording finishes with a brand new channel called ‘Embracing your Infinity’, which is a channel that ties everything together and gives us the key to the next steps where our awareness journey is concerned.

For those of you wanting to develop and expand your knowing of yourself and the world, I’d really recommend it. You can read more about it on the website page (http://www.limitlessness.com/EyeOfAwareness.cfm) and I’ll also talk about it on this months radio show (due out around the 22nd July).

I was very touched to receive this beautiful poem on The Eye of Awareness from Annette Olguin, a member of our audience who I had the pleasure of meeting in person when she attended our 2 day Seminar in San Francisco earlier this year. I wanted to publish it here, which Annette gave permission for and beneath the poem is a link to Annette’s myspace page if you want to say hi to her. As well as more on Annette you will also find the poem there, and pictures of Annette with Story and I from the seminar:

My Sun

My sun showers down on me warmth, peace and love
It is always with me, it sits right above

Illuminating with beauty everything around me
I can see clearly who it is that we are

For my awareness is awakened
A knowing that both you and I are God

It brings each moment into focus
It floods my path with light

Able to see each step I take
stumbling less and less

My sun nourishes me everyday
charging me with the energy

to articulate and create
my Garden of Eden where I lay

Beauty is alive in this world. Beauty is alive and well.

Beauty is all around us, even amidst places of terror and fear that you may witness or visit, the beauty can always be found. You simply need to allow yourself to see it. For the energy of Beauty is waiting for us all to discover at each moment. It can be found and felt everywhere.

Beauty is not fixed, or easily definable. Beauty is fluid. It is an energy that either reveals or conceals itself, but even when concealed, it is always within everybody and every living thing. Even those people you would perceive as behaving in ‘ugly’ ways, have a beauty within them. They may have forgotten or others may have forgotten to remind them, but they have it there within for beauty cannot die. Belief in beauty can die, and people can become fixated on ugliness and thus blind themselves to beauty but the essence of beauty is always there, patiently waiting to be seen.

The most beautiful people are people whose hearts are open. That is an inescapable and glorious truth that many of you will have experienced. The beautiful people are those people in your life that share their beauty with you and those that make you feel most beautiful in yourself. This is because their hearts are open to celebrating your beauty as much as their own. And you feel this openness from them when you are in their presence, and so you respond by allowing your beauty to venture out into this safe space of openness that they have created for you. And within that space and invitation, you allow your own beauty to grow and combine with theirs. This is the power of connection with another. The connection of shared energy between two individuals. And through connecting your beauty with that of another in this way, the two of you create a magical essence between you - An Essence of Beauty. That essence is powerful healing medicine - powerful beyond your imagination. Trust me on that if you find it hard to believe in yourself, for it is the truth. Beauty shared is a powerful remedy; a great healer of the self and others.

Imagine if every single one of us experienced and shared beauty a little more each day? Imagine if we all created a feeling of beauty within us, or offered or shared a moment of beauty with another. Imagine how beautiful this world could become, if we were each gently nurturing and allowing the power of beauty into our daily lives and interactions? The change would be extraordinary. The energy of this world would transform.

You are beautiful.

Truly.

You reading this now, you are so very beautiful. Know that about yourself now.

Your beauty, both inner and outer (for the two are the same) is now yours to know and receive. So open your heart to your own beauty. The more you open your heart, the more you will receive. The more you allow yourself to receive, the more your heart will open. It is a beautiful circular experience, and it does not matter which of these two actions you begin the circle with, for each action will lead you to the same destination. An open hearted knowing and sharing of your beauty with the world. That knowing and sharing from within you will then open the hearts of others for hearts open where beauty is present. So the more that you allow yourself to be beautiful and see yourself as beautiful, the more your heart will open, the more you will receive, and then the more you will be able to give. To give to your life and to give to the lives of others.

That is why you seeing your beauty today is so important. It is the greatest gift you could give to yourself and to those that you love, and even those you do not yet know. For this opening I am speaking to you of will allow you to then see the beauty in everything and everybody else. And that ability can open hearts and transform people. Truly.

To open your heart more today, allow yourself to see your beauty. Your heart holds your beauty and your beauty is your heart. Allow the two to collide. Allow the two to create union.

Allow it.

It will be so beautiful a change, your seeing of your own beauty.

I know that you are very beautiful. I can feel this about you as I write these words for you.

I honour you for this beauty that you possess and I ask you, today, to do the same. I ask you to know, see, feel and honour how beautiful you already are and how much more beautiful you are becoming every single day. 

It will truly be the greatest gift. And you deserve that great a gift.

In love to all of you

Hi everybody.

Welcome to my ‘Now you are Awake’ blog. This blog marks an exciting new step for me - a place where I can make more contact with those of you that follow my work, plus share what is going on and what’s coming up. And I’m looking forward to the evolution of this blog - who knows what it may become in the months and years ahead?

But right now we are ‘today’ and this is post number 1! So here is what’s been happening recently….

As those of you who listen to the radio show each month may already know, in May (directly after we finished creating THE FREEDOM EXERCISES) I went through my own personal experience where freedom is concerned. I literally burnt out and was physically and emotionally brought to my knees, because I had over done everything. I had been trying to do as much work as I could possibly do, and then I wondered why life was not fulfilling to me when I wasn’t working. The reason I had been so blind (to what now seems very obvious to me and no doubt many of you) is that because of the healing and learning path that I am on daily, coupled with the work that I do with people, I believed that;

A) If you are privileged enough to do what you love doing as your work, then surely burn-out is not an issue you ever deal with because your love of what you do is fuel enough

B) If you are working day to day with spirit, you are being automatically renewed through the source of energy you tap into and surely the work would give you all the balance you need.

Now while I do believe that the above 2 factors are perfectly possible as a reality, it appears I had quite a lot of my old ’human habits’ that were interfering with this possibility - habits that needed to be laid to rest. I have always been a fast learner and implementer and when I am driven by something I am creating I will put all of my energy behind it - the inspiration of what I am doing is energy enough for me. So this can lead to burn-out if you don’t keep an eye on the balance. But also, ever since I left studying my work had been a mixture of jobs I was passionate about and many jobs that I wasn’t but that I did purely to earn money so I could pay my rent. These 2 mentalities were a part of who I was and had been with me all through my life, but ever since my full time work became my channeling and music (age 29 - 2 years ago) I had begun to change my way of being and seeing very fast. This ‘old’ side of me however, of ‘giving everything you have in work’ and in a sense being a ’slave’ to work had remained quite hidden to me and thus never been released.

So this burn-out experience was very difficult for me to go through on many levels. It was confusing because I did not see it coming at all, but it was also sad and quite emotional too as it was literally the ‘death’ of this part of myself that i had identified with and lived with for so long. A part of who Iwas that was no longer needed for my next part of the journey. And I now see that THE FREEDOM EXERCISES (TFE) catalysed me into this state so that i could exercise my freedom by exorcising one of my own inner traps. A trap that I needed to lose and lay to rest now that my work had changed.

So I have recently received emails from many of you saying how powerful TFE has been for you in your lives and I wanted to share with you today that the power was not lost on me, even though I was its creator! When Story and I were creating the project (and that period of creation was very guided, intense and fast) we knew it was a powerful work as it literally gripped us until we had completed it.

But now it’s 3 months later and I see how I have changed so much in my life. My old ’slave’ side was fully laid to rest by me on a recent holiday to Palma, where my energy started to return plus Story and I had a wonderful time in the energy and heat of the sun. And we also re-thought and refocused so much for ourselves and for the future of Limitlessness. One of the products of our time to rethink was the birth of our blogs and there is more change to come.  I am also now eating only  natural/living (non-processed) foods about 95% of the time, to stabilise and better support my physical energy and the energetic work that I do, which has been an incredible experience. And much has changed and evolved in my channeling. Both of these topics I’ll share more on in the coming weeks as there is much to say in each area.

I have named this blog ‘Now you are Awake’ as that is the title of the book I am in the process of writing, But that book will now be a 2008 release as this summer Story and I will work on the book version of TFE, which is very exciting as it will contain not only the information in the audio recordings but a great deal of expansion and new information too. I can’t wait to share it with you all.

In the very immediate future though, my new audio recording on ’The Eye of Awareness’ should be out early next week, which contains the channel released as June’s Invitation To Remember and a new channel and a talk on ‘awareness and its impact on your life’. More on that in the days to come, and there are a few music projects underway also which I’ll let you know about when the time is right.

But for now, I wanted to say hi to you all. It really is an incredible journey we are taking here - a journey where I feel my connection to all of you taking it with me. My path would not be the way it is if it weren’t for the people who wanted my channeling. I never ‘consciously’ chose or set out to be a public channeler or dreamed that I would be doing this. It was a series of events back in May 2004 that started everything. I’d been able to channel for 7 years at that point but that May I helped out a dear healer friend with some of her life issues when we were in a cafe one day. Based on the information I intuitively received for her, the issues she was experiencing literally transformed overnight. So she suggested that I begin to offer my ability publicly rather than keeping it as a casual private thing between me and my friends. Initially I was nervous and did not believe I would get many people coming to me. I would also only do written channels by email and it was all on a donation basis. I had 60 clients in the first 60 days though, based purely on word of mouth. I was stunned as I had no idea it would take off in the way it did or that people would just keep coming, recommended by their friends.

So I credit those clients in that first year of sponsoring my growth as a channeler. It may be strange for some of you to hear but I actually learnt the value of my channeling through first hearing and seeing how valued it was by others. After I had got over the shock of my ‘unusual’ job and life change, I learnt to really love and appreciate what I do. This past year particularly has just been so wonderful work wise. When I look at what Story and I are doing now, it would be an extraordinary sight to the ’me’ that I was 3 years ago. But then that is the gift of change and growth. You never know what is around the corner for you.

And as well as everything else that we do, I continue to do one personal session per day and I love doing it. My experience of it just grows and grows and connecting with the souls of others in this intimate way is such a privilege. 

So just as my channeling was designed to be shared, this blog is for all of us because we are all sharing this journey together. So I’d love to see you freely posting your comments and opinions and I know others would benefit from hearing your voices on here as well as mine. 

So until the next post, big love and a smile to all of you.

Lee
